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

[ dobro ]

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...
