  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
 post-chorus:
  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
  Now 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
  I'm crying,  crying
  Oh-oh-oh-over  you
  CRYING
 (ROY ORBISON & JOE MELSON)

 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.
