CRYING
written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson
Original Release by Roy Orbison in July 1961
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'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
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
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
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying
Crying
Crying
Crying
Yeah I'm crying
Crying
Over you
K D Lang's Crying- performing a tribute to Roy Orbison at The Songwriters Hall of Fame in May 1989.
Originally, 'Crying' was recorded as a duet with Roy Orbison and KD Lang, for the "Hiding Out," movie track 1987. Lang said that when they met to do the recording, it was obvious that their voices had a "tonal connection."
