Crying Time [#][*]
Sonny And Cher · Other Songs - Sonny And Cher
Well it's crying time
You're gonna leave me
I can tell by the way
You hold me darling
That it won't be long
Before it's crying time
Now they say that absent
Makes the heart grow fonder
And tears is only rain
To make love grow
Well my love for you
Could never grow much stronger
If I lived to be hundred years or more
[Chorus]
Now you say you found someone
You love better
That's the way it happened
Every time before
And as sure as the sun
Comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start
When you walk out the door
[Chorus]
Crying Time
Released in 1974, "Crying Time" stands as a defining track in the careers of Sonny and Cher, blending pop sensibilities with a poignant, almost operatic vocal performance. The song captures the raw emotion of heartbreak, utilizing a dramatic arrangement that elevates the couple's signature harmonies into a theatrical statement. While often associated with their broader catalog of romantic ballads, this recording distinguishes itself through its intense delivery and the way it explores the complexities of a relationship ending. It remains a staple of their discography, illustrating their ability to transform personal sentiment into a universal anthem of sorrow and resilience that resonated deeply with audiences across generations.
