    The Saddest Thing

    by Melanie Safka

    And the saddest thing
    Under the sun above
    Is to say goodbye
    To the ones you love.

    All the things
    That I have known
    Became my life
    My very own.

    But before you know,
    You say goodbye, oh!
    O, Time, goodbye!
    It’s time to cry!

    But I will
    not weep
    nor make
    a scene.
    I just say:
    “Thank you, Life,
    For having been.”

    And the hardest thing
    Under the sun above
    Is to say goodbye
    To the ones you love.

    No!
    I will not weep!
    Nor make a scene!
    I’m gonna say:

    “Thank you life!”
    “For having been!

    And the loudest cry
    Under the sun above
    Is the silent goodbye
    From the ones you love.

    Ruby Tuesday

    by Melanie Safka

    She would never say where she came from
    Yesterday don’t matter ’cause it’s gone
    While the sun is bright
    Or in the darkest night
    No one knows
    She comes and then she goes

    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who is gonna hang a name on you
    And when you change with every new day
    Still I’m gonna miss you

    Don’t ask her why she leaves to be so free
    She’s gonna tell you it’s the only way to be
    She just can’t be chained
    To a life where nothing’s gained
    And nothing’s lost
    But such a cost

    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who is gonna hang a name on you
    And when you change with every new day
    Still I’m gonna miss you

    There’s no time to lose I heard her say
    You gotta catch your dreams before they run away
    Dying all the time
    Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind
    Is life unkind

    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who is gonna hang a name on you
    And when you change with every new day
    Still I’m gonna miss you

    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who is gonna hang a name on you
    And when you change with every new day
    Still I’m gonna miss you

    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
