Crying
Carrie Underwood · Other Songs - Carrie Underwood
I could smile for a while
Then I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
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, crying,
Crying, over you
