"The Saddest Story Ever Told" lyrics

"The Saddest Story Ever Told"

We used to go out on the summer nights
And dance in the neon rain
We used to hold hands at the movie show
But we'll never hold hands again

Do do do do do, come on
Do do do do do, come on

Those days are gone
You and I were young, those summer nights
You'll see the world
Diving for a girl you'll never find
And then we'll quietly grow old
The saddest story ever told

Once upon a time we fell in love
Or at least that's what you said
You say I can find someone else
But I just wish I was dead

Do do do do do, come on
Do do do do do, come on

Those days are gone
You and I were young, those summer nights
You'll see the world
Diving for a girl you'll never find
And then we'll quietly grow old
The saddest story ever told
