Play Me A Song I Can Cry To

I set in with a band down in Dallas

I´d been introduced as a guest

When a little white haired man approached the bandstand

He said I wonder if you´d play one last request

Oh please play me a song I can cry to

Sad songs are music to my ears

Play me a song I can cry to

Play me a song that sounds like tears

I stood by as the band started playing

And I didn´t even try to play along

For my eyes had followed him back to the corner

Where he sat down at a table all alone

Then a smile slowly came across his teardrops

And I watched as he slowly bowed his head

Just before he left this world for one much better

I remembered the little lonely man had said

Oh please play me a song I can cry to

Sad songs are music to my ears

Play me a song I can cry to

Play me a song that sounds like tears

Play me a song that sounds like tears
