So Sad the Song
Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And said it's best to forget
And we'll leave all our memories behind us
It's better ended and yet
So sad the song of
Of two empty lives
When that moment of truth
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 I'll love you forever
On 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

Lindíssima canção alguém escutando em 2022
Dark Feather
Her voice has this magical, haunting, airy quality that I have always loved starting as a four-year-old, especially her head voice. I remember seeing her on Sesame Street and just being mesmerized by her singing and thinking about it days later.
Vanth Dreadstar
Her tone makes her my favorite singer. There is just something about it.
