I Cried For You (Now It's Your Turn To Cry Over Me)
I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry over me.
Every road has its turning, that's one thing I'm learning.
I cried for you, what a fool I used to be,
Now I find your eyes just a little bit bluer,
And I find your heart just a little bit truer.
I cried for you, not it's your turn to cry over me.
The lyrics of "Cry for You" by Andy Timmons is reminiscent of the classic song "I Cried For You (Now It's Your Turn To Cry Over Me)" by Frank Sinatra. The singer is painfully aware that he was a fool for crying over a past love and now it's time for his former lover to experience the same. The turning of every road is a metaphor for life's unpredictable nature and how it can lead to new perspectives and realizations. The singer now sees his former lover's eyes and heart clearer and realizes he should not have cried for them before.
The song reflects on the pain of unrequited love and how it can make someone feel foolish for investing so much emotion in someone who did not reciprocate. It also shows how time and experience can bring new insight and self-awareness. The lyrics are poignant and relatable, as many people have experienced the pain of heartbreak and the realization that they have been blind to certain aspects of their past relationships.

In 26 years I must have heard this piece thousands of times, studio version, live versions, still brings tears to my eyes and a knot in my throat every single time. A masterpiece of nuance and subtlety, possibly one of the most melodically beautiful, emotionally intense and gripping guitar instrumentals ever.

I was fortunate to attend an Andy Timmons guitar workshop in Dallas many years ago. He played this, and I was sitting directly in front of him -- it was akin to a religous experience. I remember it often. Thank you for all you do, Andy!
