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
