Play Me a Song I Can Cry To Songtext
von Jerry Lee Lewis

I sat in with a band down in Dallas
I′d been introduced as a guest
When a little white haired man approached the bandstand
Said I wonder if you'd play one last request

Oh, please play me a song I can cry to
Sad songs are music to my ears
Play me a song I can cry to
Play me a song that sounds like tears


I stood by as the band started playing
And I didn′t even try to play along
All my eyes had followed him back to the corner
Where he sat down at a table all alone

And a smile slowly came across his teardrops
And I watched as he slowly bowed his head
Just before he left this world for one much better
I remember the little lonely man had said

"Oh, please play me a song I can cry to
Sad songs are music to my ears
Play me a song I can cry to
Play me a song that sounds like tears
Play me a song that sounds like tears"
