what a song

you know they played that melody the first time that you danced with me

and way back then i didn't even know the words

then they played that song again when our love came to an end

it was the saddest happy song i ever heard

what a song what a song you know i've heard it for so long

you know it seems to be the theme song from my whole life

a simple tune simple lines but every time it comes to mind

i always think oh what a song what a song

well i don't know who made it up i only know the way it touched

the very heart and soul of me with every note

when everything it said and done when all the other songs're sung

i hope they play the greatest song they ever wrote

what a song what a song.
