The Saddest Thing Of All

Through a blurry window out above the rooftops

I keep looking at the rain-swept sky

In this small apartment where she used to love me

I just sit here as my life goes by

There's no doorbell ringing, no sweet sounds of singing

Just a silent room where tears won't dry

Life is sad when people hurt you, sad when friends desert you

Sad when dreams get lost beyond recall

But remembering that love stopped blossoming

And that's the saddest thing of all

Once, we had it made, our day's one grand parade

Of thrills and laughter, only lovers know

She was proud of me, and we were young and free

One touch was all it took, and off we go

Now above the rain, I hear a passing plane

And all my loneliness begins to show

Life is sad when people hurt you, sad when friends desert you

Sad when dreams get lost beyond recall

But remembering from spring to lonely spring

Well, that's the saddest thing of all
