CRYING
(Roy Orbison and Joe Melson)

I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
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 crying over you
Crying over you
When 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.
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying.

This is the original version of the song, later recorded by Don McLean and other
s.
