Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was alright
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've been
[Chorus]
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
[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?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
[Chorus]
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm crying
Crying
Over you
Written by: Joe Melson, Roy Orbison
