(Harlan Howard)

(Let me tell you the saddest part of all.)

It was sad, so sad when you left me
And me thinking I stood so tall
Now you're gone and I should forget you
But I still love you and that's the saddest part of all.

Well, I cried, oh, how I cried when I saw you
With her wrapped so tightly in you arms
But the way I cried then, oh honey, it can't hold the candle
To the way I'm cryin' now that you're gone.

And the saddest part of all is that I take you back
And all you'd have to do is call
After all all the things you done to hurt me
I still love you and that's the saddest part of all...
