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 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 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
