AND THE HEAVENS CRIED
(Gwynn Elias / Irving Reid)


Anthony Newley - 1961



She was mine only yesterday
Both our hearts beat as one
But then I felt her slip away
As the clouds stole the sun

And the heavens cried
And the tears filled the stream
And the stream filled the river
The river filled the sea
All because she took her love away from me

Though each dawn brings the sun again
Yesterday will remain, a-hoh-hoh
Everyday I'll remember when
All the clouds filled with rain

And the heavens cried
And the tears filled the stream
And the stream filled the river
The river filled the sea
All because she took her love away from me
