V1
Play me a song for all the boys I have kissed
Play me a song for all the chances I’ve missed
Play me a song that I can dance to real slow
A song for a girl who’s got no place to go
Chorus
Play me the sad song for the tears I’ve shed
I just can’t seem to get it out of my head
Play me a sad one in three quarter time
To help ease this aching spirit of mine
V2
Play me a song that’s mellow and sweet
A place where my past and present can meet
Play me a song like the moon on the water
A song for a Mother, a song for a daughter
Repeat Chorus
Solo
Bridge
A song for the rain and the smell of the sea
A song for what was and what never will be
V3
Play me a sad one to make me feel good
I know that it’s strange but I’m sure that it could
Sometimes a sad song is just what you need
Play me a song, play a sad one for me
Repeat Chorus
