Buck Owens recorded this song 
but Ray Charles originally 
wrote the lyrics and music about 1965.


CRYING TIME
4/4 time-slowly

D, A7, D7
________________

        D                              A7
Oh, its crying time again youâre gonna leave me;
                                     D
I can see that far away look in your eyes.
                  D7              G
I can tell by the way you hold me darling,
        D                A7              D
That it wonât be long before itâs crying time.


         D                                     A7
Oh, they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder,
                                          D
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
                            D7            G
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger,
     D            A7            D
If I live to be a hundred years old.


        D                                    A7
Oh, you say that you found someone you loved better;
                                           D
Thatâs the way itâs happened every time before.
                   D7
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow,
D                           A7
