Crying

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"
Aww you wished me well,
You couldn’t tell

That I’d been cry-i-i-i-ng over you,
Cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Then you said "so long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying cry-i-ing
It’s hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you I love you even more than I did before
But darling what can I do-o-o-o
For you don’t love me
And I’ll always be
Cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you

Yes, now you’re gone
And from this moment on
I’ll be crying, crying, crying, cry-i-i-ing
Yeah crying, crying, o-o-o-o-ver you
