What A Song Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

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...
