Intro: verse 1 I must have been the saddest man Who ever wrote a love song For when I spoke of ways and means I knew it would not last long verse 2 After all the years The growing pains and heartaches I swore that I would die for you And sealed it with a traitor's kiss verse 3 We must have been a crazy pair To think we'd stay together I hope you find your own new world And make it last forever verse 4 You gave me your best I gave you all my worst years I swore that I would die for you And sealed it with a traitor's kiss Bridge Thank you for your sympathy God bless you for your kindness I'm sure that as the years roll by You'll understand my sadness I can't have been the only man Who ever wrote a song for you Instrumental verse 5 Take care of the kids I didn't want to hurt them I swore that I would die for you And sealed it with a traitor's kiss
