I don't know how to write you a song That says, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong I can't find the words that don't make it cheap It's right on the verge and just out of reach It must be a sad song with a blue melody And I'll bet you it's lonesome, as lonesome as can be But I'm starting to wonder if there's such a thing As a sad song that's too sad to sing Maybe tonight, maybe this time tomorrow Me and this guitar will get right with this sorrow And I'll play it for you, and you'll come back to me 'Cause you were always a fool for the blue melodies So it must be a sad song in three quarter time That chills down to the bone when the steel guitars cry But if it's not the one that brings you home to me Then it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing Awe but if it's not the one that brings you back to me Then it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing Oh, it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing
