Lyrics
What A 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.
You know they played that melody the first time that you danced with me
And way back then I didn't even know the words
Then they played that song again when our love came to an end
It was the saddest happy song I ever heard
What a song what a song you know I've heard it for so long
You know it seems to be the theme song from my whole life
A simple tune simple lines but every time it comes to mind
I always think oh what a song what a song
[ fiddle ]
Well I don't know who made it up I only know the way it touched
The very heart and soul of me with every note
When everything it said and done when all the other songs're sung
I hope they play the greatest song they ever wrote
What a song what a song...
