The Saddest Thing
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
Became my life, my very own
But, before you know you say goodbye
All the time goodbye, it's time to cry
But I will not weep or make a scene
Just say thank you life for having been
And the hardest thing under the sun above
Is to say goodbye to the ones you love
I will not weep nor make a scene
I'm gonna thank you life for having been.
And the loudest cry under the sun above
Is a silent goodbye from the ones you love
Melanie Safka 1971
