PLAY THE SADDEST SONG ON THE JUKE BOX
(Carmol Taylor / Linda McGraw)


Carmol Taylor - 1976



I don't know you, but I know the way you're feelin'
Like me you're alone and need a friend
Just for tonight let's hold onto each other
When morning comes we'll be alone again

So play the saddest song on the juke box
Then come back here and sit down next to me
Just play the song that tells our life story
The one that describes her leavin' me

(Instrumental Break)

Would you dance with me while that song is playin'
It was our song, but now it sounds so sad
I need to feel somebody's arms around me
'Cause she's gone and taken all the love I had

So play the saddest song on the juke box
Then come back here and sit down next to me
Just play the song that tells our life story
The one that describes her leavin' me
The one that describes her leavin' me
