Sad State of Affairs

It’s quiet tonight in this airport

Neither one of us has much to say

Soon it will be time for you to get on board

The plane which will take you away

V-2

You’re holding my hand so tightly

I know you don’t want to go

But there’s someone across the country

Who’s waiting for you to come home

CH:

It’s a sad, sad state of affairs we are in

We should have known better than to let it begin

’Cause now we know it must come to an end

This sad, sad state of affairs

This sad, sad state of affairs

V-3

Now the time has come for you to depart

You kiss me and tell me to smile

You say someday soon we’ll be one again

Until then, we’ll just have to get by

V-4

Those words seem so easy for you to say

Can’t you see how they tear me apart?

Every time you board another plane,

Can’t you see that you’re breaking my heart?

Repeat CH
