My Heart Cries for You
Guy Mitchell

TALK ABOUT COMPETITION!!! Between December 1950 and February 1951, no less than
EIGHT versions made the Top 30!! Besides Mitchell's, there were Dinah Shore (#3), Vic Damone
(#4), Jimmy Wakely (#12), Bill Farrell (#18), All Morgan (#24), Evelyn Knight & Red Foley (#28),
and Victor Young and His Orchestra (#29)
Then in 1964 Ray Charles took it to # 38

INTRO:
(My heart cries for you)
(Sighs for you, dies for you)
(And my arms long for you)
(Please come back to me)
If you're in Arizona, I'll follow you
If you're in Minnesota, I'll be there too
You'll have a million chances to start anew
Because my love is endless for you
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
Please come back to me
Please come back, come back, come back to me
