SO SAD THE SONG
(Gerry Goffin / Michael Masser)

Gladys Knight & the Pips - 1976

Also recorded by: Teddy Pendergrass


I know that we both talked it over,
and said, it's best to forget
We'll leave all our memories behind us
It's better that in the end

So sad the song
of too empty lives
when that moment of truth
suddenly arrives

And so sad the song
Of what might have been
You see a lifetime of dreams
scattered in the wind

Together
We belong together
Never was that one lovely word
easier to say

And so sad the song
of just remembering when
Knowing the love of your life
will never come again

So sad the song
That says, Goodbye

Together
We belong together
And now that you are forever
of that you can rely

So would it be wrong
to give our love
just one more try

So sad the song
That says,
'Goodbye' (So sad the song)
That says,
'Goodbye'.
