I cried all night for Sonny 'Til my eyes were dry 'Til the oceans overflowed And the Red Sea turned blue I cried all night for Sonny I heard he was crying, too I cried all night for Sonny We shook hands and said goodbye His face was etched with sorrow His heart without a hue I cried all night for Sonny I heard he was crying, too When you try and love two people You can't love either one 'Cause after a while you'll have to choose Or else love self denial I stayed all night with Sonny Like there'd never be another day Go on and sleep 'til sunset And I'll watch over you I cried all night for Sonny I know he was crying, too
