the saddest thing
melanie safka
And the saddest thing under the sun above

Is to say good-bye

To the ones you love

All the things that I have known

Become my life, my every own

But before you know you say gook-bye

Oh-good time, good-bye

But I will not weep nor make a scene

Just say, 'Thank you, life, for having been'

And the hardest thing under the sun above

Is to say good-bye

To the ones you love

No I will not weep nor make a scene

I'm gonna say, 'Thank you,

Life, for having been'

And the loudest cry under the sun above,

Is to silent good-bye

From the ones you love

Ah
