Hey, Mr. Songwriter

Write a song today

Sing to my baby

Who is going away

She is leaving on the evening plane

To where I don't know

Give me a song so sad that

She won't want to go

Now I am a songwriter

And I heard what you said

I'm going to write a song for you

Although love is dead

I know just how you feel and

Still I have to say

That if it doesn't make her stop then

Then I just turn away

I write the words

Make her cry, make her sigh

Melody to make her see

Tomorrow but tomorrow she'll be gone

Hey, Mr. Songwriter

Tell me what to do

She's gone away and left me now

For somebody new

I thought, I could change her mind

But maybe, I was wrong

Hurry up and wet your pen

And please sir don't be long

I write the words

Make her cry, make her sigh

Melody to make her see

Tomorrow but tomorrow was too late
