Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song in the mid-60's for my rock band when we were getting ready to go into out first "Battle Of The Bands". It is a Beatle-esque song with some Jerry and The Pacemakers vibe to it. The original tape version shredded when we tried to save it, so I recorded it again. Hope you enjoy this blast from the past....

VERSE 1
Now, Saturday night is still a blur to me
Whatever I said I did not mean
I was feeling down and so frustrated
I was such a fool to make you leave....Oh, and........

CHORUS
You made me cry
You made me cry
For the first time in my life

VERSE 2
Now, I'm reason we're both sleeping alone
Staring at the shadows and our telephones
We have a love that burns so deep inside
A special love we can not hide .... Oh, and ......

REPEAT CHORUS
You made me cry
You made me cry
For the first time in my life

BRIDGE
I vow to do anything, baby
To change your mind
If you'll only open your heart up
It'll only be a matter of time

VERSE 3
Then I heard my telephone begin to ring
On the other end I heard you whispering
You said, "Come to be, baby.
All's forgiven and I'll be waiting.
Because, I need you here with me" ... Oh, and.......

REPEAT CHORUS
You made me cry
You made me cry
For the first time in my life
