Crying Lyrics
I was all right for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You, 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
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you

Yeah, about running into someone you thought you were over, only to realize you still love the person very much.
In the duet with k.d. lang, when she first starts in with the chorus, the way she says "crying" is so incredibly powerful. Her voice says it all.
nobody sings it better than roy. especially not the goddamn guy from the eagles.
ROY. roy orbison
I always say that when I hear this song and DON'T get goosebumps, I'll know I am dead.
So few words to say so much. I've lived this song. It will always be with me.
Lyrics are simple but touching. Conveys a deep sense of longing. Crying for something that will take away the emptiness.
hmm, everyone should listen to the spanish version of this, found on mulholland drive soundtrack.
thats what made me want to listen to it. i miss ray oribison. he was such a cuddley old man. i <3 him.
the mulholland drive one was really good. i couldn't find it anywhere. none of this is real
Ha. Owned.
I like Don McLean's version of this song.
The lyrics are pretty self explanatory.. he's upset & crying a whole lot over someone he loves... fantastic song.
