Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
Crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said so long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
post-chorus:
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
Verse 2
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
Now you don't love me
And I'll always be
Chorus 2
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Coda
I'm crying, crying
Oh-oh-oh-over you
CRYING
(ROY ORBISON & JOE MELSON)
ROY ORBISON
I was all right for awhile, I could smile for awhile.
But I saw you last night, you held my hand real tight,
As you stopped to say "Hello,"
Oh you wished me well, you couldn't tell,
That I'd been Cry-ing over you
Cry-ing over you.
When you said, "So long;" left me standing all alone
Alone and crying. Crying. Crying Cryi-ing.
It's hard to understand, but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying.
2) I thought that I, was over you, But it's true, oh 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
Cry-i-ing over you, Cry-i-ing over you.
Yes, now you're gone, and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah cry-ing. Cry-ing, ov-er you.
