The Sadness Of It All

(album: Diamond Duet - 1979)

She works day and night in a dingy cafe feeding locals and passers by
She never complains of a heartache and pain but sometimes she breaks down to cry
And her honky tonk husband spends most of his time drinking whiskey and watching TV
And now rumor has it he's fooling around but the rumor she she does not believe

And the sadness of that all is I could fall like rain from the sky for you
Sadness of that all is I could fall like rain from the sky for you

Each night at nine around closing time he drops by to say hello
We sit down and talk and go for walk it gets just as far as it goes
As he walks out the door these feelings inside are getting harder and harder to hide
But I'll keep pretending the heart I'm defending won't walk out and leave me tonight

And the sadness of that all is I could fall like rain from the sky for you...
And the sadness of that all is I could fall
