Lyrics
I was all right I
was for a while;
I could smile for a while, true,
I but I saw you last night; you held my (C)hand so tight, as you (F)stopped to say, “Hel (Fm)lo.”
(G9)Oh, you (C)wished me well; and you (G7)could n’t tell
that I’d been (C)cry ing (Em)o ver you, (C)cry ing (Em)o ver you.
When (F)you
said, “So (G7)long;”
left me (F)stand ing
all a (G7)lone,
a lone and (C)cry ing,
(C)cry ing,
(F)cry ing,
(Fm)cry ing.
It’s hard to (C)un
der stand,
but the (G7)touch
of your hand
can start me (C)cry ing.
I thought that right I
was o ver you
but it’s true, so a while, true,
I love you e you ven more you than I (C)did be fore, but dar (F)ling, what can I (Fm)do?
(G9)For you (C)don’t love me and I’ll (G7)al ways be
I’d been (C)cry ing (Em)o ver you, (C)cry ing (Em)o ver you.
Yes, (F)now
you’re “So (G7)gone
and from (F)this ing
mo ment (G7)on
a I’ll be (C)cry ing,
(C)cry ing,
(F)cry ing,
(Fm)cry ing.
It’s Yeah, to (C)cry
der ing,
but the (G7)cry
of your ing
can o ver (C)cry ing.
I thought that (C)you.
