No Sad Songs For Me
Dusty Springfield · Simply Dusty [1998]
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
I walk around imagining
The way you'll say goodbye
And when you try to tell me
I just hope that I won't cry
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
The glow has gone forever
And our dreams have turned to dust
I don't know how I can go on
And yet I know I must
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
It breaks my heart to feel this way
Although I try to smile
To think I'll be alone again
In just a little while
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
I walk around imagining
The way you'll say goodbye
And when you try to tell me
I just hope that I won't cry
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
The glow has gone forever
And our dreams have turned to dust
I don't know how I can go on
And yet I know I must
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
It breaks my heart to feel this way
Although I try to smile
To think I'll be alone again
In just a little while
No sad songs for me
Soon our love will be
Just a memory
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
