Sadness of It All

(Russell Wolfe)

Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn



She works day and night in a dingy café

Feedin' locals and passers - by

She never complains of the heartache and pain

But sometimes she breaks down and cries.



And her honky tonk husband spends most of his time

Drinkin' whiskey and watchin' TV

And now rumor has it he's been foolin' around

But the rumor she does not believe.



And the sadness of it all is I could fall

Like rain from the sky for you

The sadness of it all is I could fall

Like rain from the sky for you.



Each night at nine around closin' time

He drops by to say hello

We sit down and talk, then go for a walk

But that's just as far as it goes.



As he walks out the door these feelin's inside

Are getting' harder and harder to hide

But I'll keep pretending the heart I'm defending

Won't walk out and leave me tonight.



And the sadness of it all is I could fall

Like rain from the sky for you

The sadness of it all is I could fall

Like rain from the sky for you.



And the sadness of it all is I could fall...
