lyrics

BOY:
You people don’t know what I’ve been through, what I have lost
Such happiness I’ve known, at such a cost.

The first of June
A crescent moon
The crickets singing their song
It all went wrong
Honey so long

This is true, yes every word
It’s the saddest story you ever heard
It’s all true, yes every word
Ain’t that the saddest story you ever heard?

That bride of mine
Looked so fine
On our wedding night
We drank champagne
After the rain
In the sweet starlight
I said, Honey don’tcha go walking down by the water
There’s danger there, so please take care
By the edge of the lake, there lives a snake
You must beware – but

One hour of bliss
One final kiss
Then I looked round and saw she was gone
And I cried til dawn,
Now I can’t go on.

CAST:
It’s all true

BOY: Yes, every word

ALL:
That’s the saddest story you ever heard
It’s all true, yes every word
Ain’t that the saddest story you ever heard?

CAST:
When he would sing to her all the animals listened
Even the birdies in the trees
Now he’s an empty shell and something is missing
Look at him down on his knees

BOY:
She was the prettiest perfect thing I’d ever seen
And every day I sit and cry
For my lost wife
Long black hair and eyes of green
If only I could try
To bring her back to life….

(talking)
All the sunshine went out of my life that day
Now I struggle on in a world that’s dim and gray
And I say-
Where are you, sun?
Make us two one…..

CAST:
It’s all true

BOY: Yes, every word

ALL:
That’s the saddest story you ever heard
It’s all true, yes every word
Ain’t that the saddest story you ever heard?

And in my darkest dreams I lose my love again
And in my fantasies I choose my love again
And in my inner mind I find my love again

BOY:
My life is through, it’s done
But someday this will all be on VH-1.
