There was a time when we were down and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break, we let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
There was a world when we were standing still
And for a moment we were separated
And then you found her, you let the stranger in
Who's sorry now, who's sorry now?
What, what kind of fool tears it apart?
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Losing you now wonderin' why
Where will I be tomorrow?
Forever more that's what we are to be
Without each other
We'll be remembering when
There was a time when we were down and out (we cried)
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break, we let the heartache in
Who's sorry now, who's sorry now?
What, what kind of fool (what kind of fool)
Tears it apart? (Tears it apart?)
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Oh, losin' you now, how can I win?
Where will I be tomorrow?
Was there a moment when I cut you down? (No)
Played around, what have I done? I only apologize
For being as they say, the last to know
It has to show
When someone is in your eyes
What, what kind of fool?
(Tears it apart) tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow
Oh, losing you now
Wonderin' why (wonderin' why)
Where will I be tomorrow? (Where will I be tomorrow?)
What, what kind of fool (what kind of fool)
Tears it apart (tears it apart)
Leaving me pain and sorrow (leaving me pain and)
Losing you now (losing you now)
How can I win? (How can I win?)
Where will I be tomorrow? (Where will I be tomorrow?)

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
