Crying

Crying

By Roy Orbison and Joe Melson

I was all right

for a while

I could smile

for a while

But I saw you last night

You held my hand so tight

As you stopped to say “Hello”

Oh, you wished me well,

You couldn’t tell

that I’d been crying over you,

crying over you

Then you said “So long”

Left me standing

all alone

Alone and crying,

crying, crying crying

It’s hard to understand

but the touch of your hand

can start me

crying.

I thought that I

was over you,

but it’s true, so true

I love you even more

than I did before,

but, darling,

What can I do?

For you don’t love me

and I’ll always be

crying over you

crying over you

Yes, now you’re gone

and from this moment on

I’ll be crying

crying, crying crying

crying, crying

over you.
