Through a blurry window out above the rooftop   I keep looking at the rain-swept sky   In this small apartment where she used to love me   I just sit here as my life goes by   There's no doorbell ringing, no sweet sounds of singing   Just a silent room where tears won't dry      Life is sad when people hurt you   Sad when friends desert you   Sad when dreams get lost beyond recall   But remembering that love stopped blossoming   And that's the saddest thing of all      Once we had it made, our days one grand parade   Of thrills and laughter, only lovers know   She was proud of me and we were young and free   One touch was all it took, and off we go   Now above the rain, I hear a passing plane   And all my loneliness begins to show      Life is sad when people hurt you   Sad when friends desert you   Sad when dreams get lost beyond recall   But remembering from spring to lonely spring   Well, that's the saddest thing of all
