You’re the hand that waved goodbye you’re the thought that makes me cry
You’re the love that I had that went wrong
You’re the lump that fills my throat and when I sing you’re my blue note
Yes darling you’re the sad in my songs
I’ve often wondered why when people sing sometimes they cry
I didn’t know that love could go so wrong
Oh but now I’ve sadly learned mine’s among those hearts that yearn
Yes darling you’re the sad in my songs
[ piano ]
You’re the ache that’s in my heart you’re the hours we spend apart
You’re the sleep I never find all night long
You’re the lips I used to kiss you’re that girl that I still miss
Oh darling you’re the sad in my songs
I’ve often wondered why…
