Connick, Jr., Harry - Sonny Cried Lyrics






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

    I always thought it sounded like the soundtrack to James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues." Escapism and redemption.

    This is one of those songs that not a lot of people hear. But, once you've heard it, it haunts you. It's been haunting me since 1997. Simple, soft, sad. It can mean whatever you personally feel, (outside of the actual 'narrative' of the lyrics). That abrupt end note used to make me so mad when I was younger. But, I've really come to love it.

    What do you think the song is about?
