You're the hand that waved goodbye you're the tears that fill my eyes
You're the love I had that went wrong
You're the lump that fills my throat and when I sing you're my blue note
And baby you're the sad in my song
I've often wondered why when people sing they cry
I didn't know that love could go wrong
But now I've sadly learned I'm among the hearts that yearn
Because darling you're the sad in my songs
You're the pain that's in my heart and 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 and you're the girl that I still miss
Darling you're the sad in my song
I've often wondered why...
