The church choir they only sing The saddest songs I know On Sundays the church choir sings 'Til all the daylight goes I sang in the church choir But I only sang for you The saddest songs I ever knew I sang them just for you The saddest songs I know where they come from Those sad old songs we sing Always mean everything This town is so quiet You are wasted on me I wish you could leave this town For the cruel world and the city But I liked it in that sad old town With everyone I loved My friends and my family sang The saddest songs around The saddest songs I know where they come from Those sad old songs we sing Always mean everything The church choir they only sing The saddest songs I know On Sundays the church choir sings 'Til all the daylight goes The saddest songs I know where they come from Those sad old songs we sing Always mean everything The saddest songs I know where they come from Those sad old songs we sing Always mean everything
