Let's write a song about the love that grew and then just died We'll tell about the times we laughed and the times we cried And it will be the saddest song that's ever heard You write the music, I'll write the words. You can tell of the love we knew with some pretty melody I'll tell how it all ended in that awful tragedy And it will be the saddest song that's ever heard You write the music, I'll write the words. We'll tell about the way we used to live in harmony Until that stranger came along and knocked you out of key Then all at once a trio had occurred You write the music, I'll write the words. You can tell of the love we knew with some pretty melody I'll tell how it all ended in that awful tragedy And it will be the saddest song that's ever heard You write the music, I'll write the words.
