A mediados de la década de los 50 Julie London nos regaló con su voz, dulce y sensual, Cry me a river, escrita por Arthur Hamilton y compuesta y producida por el marido de Julie, Robert William “Bobby” Troup Jr. Fue sin duda su mayor éxito y a día de hoy, cerca de once años tras su muerte, Julie sigue perdurando con este clásico, de hecho, formaba parte de la banda sonora de V de vendetta. Existen muchas versiones, para mí, la mejor la original.
Dice algo así:
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For bein' so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you.
