Sing the song sadly
Play it gladly
For this is your song and it's mine
You said you were leaving
And I'm not one for pleading
But play it for me one more time
I may shed a tear
Maybe one for each year
Or each hour, each moment we've spent
But the symphony's played
The notes fade away
We were victims of coincidence
Sing the song sadly
Play it gladly
For this is your song and it's mine
You said you were leaving
And I'm not one for pleading
But play it for me one more time
And I know that one sentence
Can't go on and on
And that nothing in life stays the same
But the winds they are blowing
There's no way of knowing
The next move on the board of life's game
Sing the song sadly
Play it gladly
For this is your song and it's mine
You said you were leaving
And I'm not one for pleading
But play it for me one more time
Oh you're going away
There's no more I can say
While it lasted the feeling was there
But the fire turned to ice
It's just the luck of the dice
And now it's gone, a past love affair
Sing the song sadly
Play it gladly
For this is your song and it's mine
You said you were leaving
Aand I'm not one for pleading
But play it for me one last time
