lyrics

★ SONG FOR SARAH ★

SHE HAD A SUNNY DISPOSITION ALWAYS WAS A HAPPY CHILD
WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD RUNNING FREE RUNNING WILD
SPINNING ROUND IN A WHIRLWIND HER HEART PULLING THE STRINGS

BUT NOW SHE'S OLDER THE FIRE IS COLDER
THE WRITING'S IN HER SOUL THO' SHE'S WORLDLY-WISE
I SEE SIGNS OF WINTER A LONG COLD LONELY WINTER
I SEE THE SIGNS OF WINTER IN HER EYES

SAD SWEET SARAH ~ SAD SWEET SARAH
LIVED TOO MUCH LIFE IN TOO FEW YEARS ~ TOO MUCH LIFE
SAD SWEET SARAH ~ SAD SWEET SARAH
IT'S TOO SOON FOR SORROW IT'S TOO LATE FOR TEARS

WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG LIFE STRETCHED OUT AHEAD
THERE'D ALWAYS BE TOMORROW SHE LIVED FOR TODAY INSTEAD

BUT NOW SHE'S OLDER THE FIRE IS COLDER
THE WRITING'S IN HER SOUL THO' SHE'S WORLDLY-WISE
I SEE SIGNS OF WINTER A LONG COLD LONELY WINTER
I SEE THE SIGNS OF WINTER IN HER EYES

SAD SWEET SARAH
LIVED TOO MUCH LIFE IN TOO FEW YEARS
SAD SWEET SARAH ~ SAD SWEET SARAH
IT'S TOO SOON FOR SORROW IT'S TOO LATE FOR TEARS

LATELY IT SEEMS TO ME SHE WAS BORN WITH A BROKEN HEART
I HOPE THE WIND CARRIES MY WORDS HER WAY
AND MY THOUGHTS SKIP OVER THE WAVES LIKE A STONE
SO SHE MAY LIVE TO LOVE ANOTHER DAY

SAD SWEET SARAH
LIVED TOO MUCH LIFE IN TOO FEW YEARS ~ TOO MUCH LIFE
SAD SWEET SARAH ~ SAD SWEET SARAH
IT'S TOO SOON FOR SORROW IT'S TOO LATE FOR TEARS
SAD SWEET SARAH
LIVED TOO MUCH LIFE IN TOO FEW YEARS ~ LIVED TOO MUCH LIFE
OH SARAH SARAH ~ I SEE SIGNS OF WINTER IN HER EYES
I SEE THE SIGNS OF WINTER IN HER EYES
SAD SARAH SAD SAD SWEET SARAH
IT'S TOO LATE FOR TEARS TOO LATE FOR TEARS
TOO SOON FOR SORROW
OH MY SARAH I SEE THE SIGNS OF WINTER
OH SARAH SARAH
