SING A SAD SONG
Music & Lyrics by Denise Dimin/Reel2Real Songs

When the sun sets and I ask myself what's next,
I really know you're gone, so I sing a sad song.
When the moon glows and the night's so slow,
Lord, it's been too long, so I sing a sad song.

I flash on your look that would ask if we should
And my eyes would answer, maybe.
And I remember all the times when you made my songs rhyme
And the things that you gave me.


When I hear the melody of a song for you and me,
My thoughts ramble on, so I sing a sad song.
When I hear a familiar phrase, or one of your clichés,
My thoughts go beyond, so I sing a sad song.

I remember finding out how I couldn't live without
Having you near.
Then suddenly awaking to the sound of my heart breaking
With words, you couldn't hear.

When I think of our goodbyes and try not to cry,
I wonder what you've done, with the sad songs that I've sung.
When I look for tomorrow and see only sorrow,
I know I've just begun with those sad songs that I've sung.

I wanted you to stay but there was nothing I could say,
To change your mind.
There was so much time ahead now you've killed time cold dead
And I am left behind.

When the sun sets and I ask myself what's next,
I really know you're gone, so I sing a sad song.
When the moon glows and the night's so slow,
Lord, it's been too long, so I sing a sad song.
I sing a sad song.
I sing a sad song.
I sing a sad song.
