You know they played that melody the first time that you danced with me
|
And way back then I didn't even know the words
|
Then they played that song again when our love came to an end
|
It was the saddest happy song I ever heard
|
What a song what a song you know I've heard it for so long
|
You know it seems to be the theme song from my whole life
|
A simple tune simple lines but every time it comes to mind
|
I always think oh what a song what a song
|
[ fiddle ]
|
Well I don't know who made it up I only know the way it touched
|
The very heart and soul of me with every note
|
When everything it said and done when all the other songs're sung
|
I hope they play the greatest song they ever wrote
|
What a song what a song...
