Lyrics
Sad
Steve Eulberg ©1983 BMI
You and I agree
We should live apart
But the miles that lay between us now
Are tearing up my heart
So as I "now I lay me down"
And pray your soul to keep
Don't think I can take the ache within
So I begin to weep
I feel sad, so sad
To be here without you
I feel sad, so sad
To see that I'm alone
Though I look at you
And I'm glad
That you like to live your living
Still I feel so sad
When I cannot come along
And the miles may be blessings
Wrapped up in newsprint grey
The whole thing looks exciting
In the light of day
But now, the daylight sun is stepping out
And the darkness elbows in
And I feel sad
I like to be my own man
And you desire your freedom
So far I see it working out
For the best for you and me
But what can I do with my heart
So full of confusing feelings?
My guitar's sitting here with me
We sing this memory: BREAK
And the miles...
