So Sad

I waited all that morning To hear him say I love you So sure it was so certain It was left unspoken My heart it was aching As he pulled back the curtains He said nothing when he left me He left me so heartbroken, I was So sad [Whispered] So sad Oh yes, I waited all that morning To hear him say I love you In the morning light he glistened Like a ruby in a stickpin Then he whispered something To the wet red-lettered window He said nothing He left me so heartbroken I was So sad [Whispered] So sad Shorty's in the poolroom Billy's in the chute Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme I am not in prison, I am only doing time Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands Elvis died in Memphis, boys they nailed him in one hand Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime Mickey died in Tennessee, they buried him alive And I am So sad That was the best he had So sad [Whispered] So sad Yes, I waited all that morning So many mornings after So many lonely hours Staring at the rafters Until I would close my eyes And feel you next to me But with the dawn so sure to come Will go my sweetest dream And I am So sad Oh yes, I waited all that morning So many mornings after So many lonely hours Staring at the rafters Until I would close my eyes and Feel you next to me But with the dawn so sure to come Will go my sweetest dream And I am So sad So sad [Whispered] So sad Aaah, aah-aaah Aah-aaah [Whispered] So sad
