149 - Crying
Verse 1
I was al-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
Chorus
Cry–ing over you
Cry–ing over you
When you said “so long”
Left me standing all a-lone
Alone and crying, crying,
Crying, crying
It’s hard to un---der-stand
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 al-ways be
Chorus
Cry–ing over you
Cry–ing over you
Yes now you’re gone
And from this moment on
I’ll be crying, crying,
Crying, crying
(lower pitch) Yeah cry-----ing,
(higher pitch) cry-----ing
O -----O------–ver you------------
