I know you tried your best to love me You smiled when your heart told you to weep You tried to pretend that you were happy But last night I heard you crying in your sleep You gave the best years of your life dear And each precious vow you tried to keep I love you so much I want you happy But last night I heard you crying in your sleep Your heart is yearning for an old love With new love it's useless to compete It hurts me to know you are unhappy But last night I heard you crying in your sleep You know that you are free to go dear And don't mind me if I start to weep I know I can never make you happy 'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep

Orbison escreveu “Crying” depois de encontrar uma garota com quem havia terminado um relacionamento e ainda sentia amor por ela.
A letra reflete o conflito interno de Orbison, que recusou-se a revelar o quanto essa pessoa significava para ele.
Posteriormente, ele sentiu arrependimento por ter sido tão teimoso em não expressar seus sentimentos.
O episódio de encontro com a ex-invadida serviu de inspiração direta para a composição da música.
