play me a song i can cry to

Lyrics

i sat in with a band down in dallas, i'd been introduced as a guest, when a little white haired man approached the bandstand, said i wonder if you'd play one last request, oh please play me a song i can cry to, sad songs are music to my ears, play me a song i can cry to, play me a song that sounds like tears, i stood by as the band started playing, and i didn't even try to play along, aw my eyes had followed him back to the corner, where he sat down at a table all alone, and a smile slowly came across his tear drops, and i watched as he slowly bowed his head, just before he left this world for one much better, i remember the little lonely man had said, oh please play me a song i can cry to, sad songs are music to my ears, play me a song i can cry to, play me a song that sounds like tears, play me a song that sounds like tears
