That's the saddest song I've ever heard
I love the way it starts
And when the violins come in
It almost breaks by heart

It's kind of like a lullaby
It's kind of like the blues
And every time I hear it
I always think of you

It's the saddest song
I've ever heard
I know that song
Just as if I wrote the words
It's the saddest song I've ever heard

I never should have let you go
I know now I was wrong
And after all that we've been through
I only have this song

It's all about running away
It's all about hasty goodbyes
It's all about a lot of pain
It's enough to make you cry

It's all about fools like me
Who stumble, then fall
It's all about a lot of things
That never should have happened at all

It's the saddest song
I've ever heard
I know that song
Just as if I wrote the words
It's the saddest song I've ever heard
