The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I set in with a band down in Dallas
I’d been introduced as a guest
When a little white haired man approached the bandstand
He said I wonder if you’d play one last request
Oh please play me a song I can cry to
Sad songs are music to my ears
Play me a song I can cry to
Play me a song that sounds like tears
I stood by as the band started playing
And I didn’t even try to play along
For my eyes had followed him back to the corner
Where he sat down at a table all alone
Then a smile slowly came across his teardrops
And I watched as he slowly bowed his head
Just before he left this world for one much better
I remembered the little lonely man had said
Play me a song that sounds like tears
