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...
