SAD SONGS

Elton John

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain

And ironing out the rough spots

Is the hardest part when memories remain

And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio

Cause from the lips of some old singer

We can share the troubles we already know


Turn them on, turn them on

Turn on those sad songs

When all hope is gone

Why don't you tune in and turn them on


They reach into your room

Just feel their gentle touch

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much


If someone else is suffering enough to write it down

When every single word makes sense

Then it's easier to have those songs around

The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you

And it feels so good to hurt so bad

And suffer just enough to sing the blues


Sad songs, they say ...
