You Taught Me to Cry
I had so much to learn
When I met you,
Fresh from the country,
Like milk and eggs,
Innocent eyes
Of forget-me-not blue,
Tangled hair
And coltish legs.
And you were so wise
In the ways of the world,
You took me in hand,
You guided my style,
The way my hair curled,
The clothes I should buy.
You taught me to love,
And you taught me to cry.
You taught me to cry,
You taught me to cry,
I had so much to learn,
And you taught me to cry.
I can order in French
And get what I want,
I can talk of the wine
Of the Rhine and the Rhone,
The sun on the isles,
The snow in Vermont.
I can travel the world,
But I travel alone.
You showed me the world,
I saw through your eyes
What was in good taste
And what to despise.
How should I judge you,
My standards so high?
I had so much to learn,
And you taught me to cry.
You taught me to cry,
You taught me to cry,
You taught me to love,
And you taught me to cry.
Lyric
When I met you,
Fresh from the country,
Like milk and eggs,
Innocent eyes
Of forget-me-not blue,
Tangled hair
And coltish legs.
And you were so wise
In the ways of the world,
You took me in hand,
You guided my style,
The way my hair curled,
The clothes I should buy.
You taught me to love,
And you taught me to cry.
You taught me to cry,
You taught me to cry,
I had so much to learn,
And you taught me to cry.
I can order in French
And get what I want,
I can talk of the wine
Of the Rhine and the Rhone,
The sun on the isles,
The snow in Vermont.
I can travel the world,
But I travel alone.
You showed me the world,
I saw through your eyes
What was in good taste
And what to despise.
How should I judge you,
My standards so high?
I had so much to learn,
And you taught me to cry.
You taught me to cry,
You taught me to cry,
You taught me to love,
And you taught me to cry.
