Why Are All the Love Songs So Sad
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

Why are all the love songs so sad
Why do we walk away
From the best we ever had
If we could get back yesterday
Would it still hurt so bad
Why are all the love songs so sad?

Why does everybody look so down
I see the same expression
All over this town
Painted window dressing
To cover up a frown
A sad, old circus clown
As the sun is going down

I guess we really never know
If our seeds of Love will grow
Or will they all just blow away
And turn all of the colors gray
Shake ‘em up and let ‘em fly
Break ‘em up and make ‘em cry
Let's give love another try
Maybe we won’t say goodbye

Why are all the love songs so sad
Why do we walk away
From the best we ever had
Can we find another way
To get back what we had
Why are all the love songs so sad?
