Lyrics Tom T. Hall

Tom T. Hall

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...
