But the touch of your hand, crying over you
I thought that i was over you, can start me crying
But it s true, i ll be crying
alone and crying
You held my hand so tight, and from this moment on
Crying over you, when you said Roy, what can i do
I thought that i was over you, but i saw you last night, you wished me well
And from this moment on, alone and crying Orbison, alone and crying
I thought that i was over you, you held my hand so tight
When you said, you couldn t tell
crying over you
it s hard to understand
when you said
Alone and crying, as you stopped to say, i love you even more
I ll be crying, than i did before
than i did before
Can start me crying, i was all right for awhile Orbison, for you don t love me and i ll always be crying over you
I could smile for awhile, i ll be crying Roy, you held my hand so tight
Crying over you, and from this moment on, i was all right for awhile
Crying over you, as you stopped to say Crying, you held my hand so tight
crying over you
Crying over you, it s hard to understand Crying, but the touch of your hand
Crying over you, left me standing all alone
When you said, i was all right for awhile, i was all right for awhile
In December of 1999, my father passed away. He loved this song by Roy Orbison, he sang it all the time around his apartment. Then on April 1st, 2000, my twins were born at 31 weeks, premature. My daughter, Victoria was a healthy 3 pounds, 8 ounces, my son John Lawrence, was 4 pounds, 2 ounces and sick. He had Potters Syndrome, a kidney defect due to insufficient amniotic fluid. He was born with no physical bladder and died three hours later. I was holding him as he passed away. Sometime later, I went to the cafeteria to get some food and drinks for the family. Everything was closed, except for the snack machines. There was a single employee, a nurse, sitting at a table eating. Sitting at the far end of the room was a modern day juke box, but instead of 45 records, it played CDs. I bought some food, I sat down and tried to eat, but I became overwhelmed by it all and I just started crying. All of a sudden, I heard the juke box buttons go "click" and the song "Crying," by Roy Orbison, began playing. The nurse looked at me and asked, "Did you play that?" I said, "No." She then said, "Well, that's weird," and went back to eating. I realized right then it was my dad sending me a message. That experience still affects me to this day.
I was all right for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
When 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, crying, crying
Over you
