Lyrics

The Saddest Song

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.

And the saddest song under the sun above

is to say goodbye to the ones you loved

All the things that I have known

became my life, my very own

But before you know you say goodbye

ooh good time goodbye, it's time to cry

But I will not weep nor make a scene

just say thank you life for having been

And the hardest thing under the sun above

it's to say goodbye to the ones you love

No, I will not weep nor make a scene

I'm gonna say oh thank you life for having been

And the loudest cry under the sun above

is the silent goodbye from the ones you love

ah, ah, ah
