Roses Are Red Lyrics - 1962

[ Buy Roses Are Red ]

(Roy Orbison/Joe Melson)

I was alright for a while
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
You said, "So long,"
And left me 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, oh, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
So, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be

Crying over you,
Crying over you
And now you're gone,
And from this moment on,
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
I'm crying, crying over you
