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
