Sonny Cried

I cried all night for Sonny
'Til my eyes were dry
'Til the oceans overflowed
And the Red Sea turned blue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
I cried all night for Sonny
We shook hands and said goodbye
His face was etched with sorrow
His heart without a hue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
When you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while you'll have to choose
Or else love self denial
I stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
I know he was crying, too
