Saddest Part of All

Jan Howard · Lonely Country [Tower] [1967]

(Harlan Howard)



(Let me tell you the saddest part of all.)



It was sad, so sad when you left me

And me thinking I stood so tall

Now you're gone and I should forget you

But I still love you and that's the saddest part of all.



Well, I cried, oh, how I cried when I saw you

With her wrapped so tightly in you arms

But the way I cried then, oh honey, it can't hold the candle

To the way I'm cryin' now that you're gone.



And the saddest part of all is that I take you back

And all you'd have to do is call

After all all the things you done to hurt me

I still love you and that's the saddest part of all...
