Three Saddest Words
When you called at 4am
My mind was workin
I rolled over in the bed above
the box where I kept
The trifles I talked in letters unsent
and I don't understand what you see in this man
what you see in me.
It's no surprise
My heart is broken
It's no surprise
And I don't understand what it means for your man
What it means for me
Called you back at 5:17
You never answered and now I have seen
What it means to me
I realize
I have the answer
I realize
I remember
You told me there were
The three saddest words and now I am sure
What they mean to me
I got the tone
But could not follow through
Just a recording
A voice I once knew
Said the three saddest words
That I ever have heard
And I remember
But now I'm not sure
What it means from you.
