So Sad – Jennifer Warnes (originally by Mickey Newbury)

I waited all that morning to hear him say I love you So sure it was so certain it was left unspoken My heart it was aching as he pulled back the curtains He said nothing when he left me, he left me so heartbroken
I was So sad So sad
Oh yes, I waited all that morning to hear him say I love you In the morning light he glistened like a ruby in a stickpin Then he whispered something to the wet red-lettered window He said nothing, he left me so heartbroken
I was So sad So sad
Shorty’s in the poolroom, Billy’s in the chute Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme I am not in prison, I am only doing time
Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands Elvis died in Memphis, boys they nailed him in one hand Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime Mickey died in Tennessee, they buried him alive
And I am So sad That was the best he had So sad So sad
Yes, I waited all that morning, so many mornings after So many lonely hours staring at the rafters Until I would close my eyes and feel you next to me But with the dawn so sure to come will go my sweetest dream
And I am So sad
Oh yes, I waited all that morning, so many mornings after So many lonely hours staring at the rafters Until I would close my eyes and feel you next to me But with the dawn so sure to come will go my sweetest dream
