In the US, Don McLean’s cover of Roy Orbison’s 1961 #2 hit “Crying” was almost successful as the original, reaching #5 on the Hot 100 in March of 1981. In the UK, however, it went all the way to #1, outdoing the original by two dozen spots! It also topped the charts in Belgium and The Netherlands.
Crying Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
It's hard to understand
That 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
[Chorus]
While you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying, over you
Crying, over you
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying (Crying)
Crying (Crying)
Crying (Crying)
Crying
[Outro]
I'm crying
Crying
Over you
