Skeeter Davis Lyrics
"Sad Sad World"

(Sandra Rhodes)

I saw a pretty moon a shining bright
And a big black cloud push it out of sight
I saw a boy break the heart of a girl
I'll tell you it's a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad world.

I saw a pretty flower nod its head
Then the mean wind blew until the flower was dead
I saw tears fall down the face of that girl
I'll tell you it's a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad world.

If you weren't gone then my life wouldn't be so bad
But you're not with me that's what makes the world so sad.

I saw a little girl cry alone
Cause she was lost and could not find her home
Now that you're gone I'm just like that little girl
I'll tell you it's a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad world.

Yes, I know it's a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad world
Let me tell you it's a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad world...
