Crying

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But when I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say: Hello
And though 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
It's hard to understand that the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you, but it's tru-ue, 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
Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah crying, crying, over you
