lyrics
Don't Be Sad
Intro:
Oh, Oh, should say, should say
Oh, Oh, should say
Verse
Don't be sad and lonely, you run off by yourself
Don't think you're the only one
Life will put you to the test
What you`ve lost, you never had
For what you’ve got, you should be glad
Don't be alone; we’re in your corner
Restart your life, get things in order
“Chorus”
Don't be sad and lonely
You’ve got friends by your side
Don't be sad and lonely
You have the will to survive
“Guitar Solo”
You being alone, was hard I know
Turn it around, take time to grow
Stay in touch, don't fade away
Turn your sight on a brand new day
“Chorus Repeat”
“Organ Solo”
Oh, Oh, should say, should say
Verse
What you lost, you never had
For what you get you should be glad
Don't be alone, I`m in your corner
Restart your life, put things in order
“Chorus Twice”
“Vamp Out”
Don't be sad and lonely
For what you got you should be glad
Don't be sad and lonely
Don't be sad, don't be alone
Stay in touch……Say it, say it
Don't be sad and lonely
You`ve got friends by your side
Don't let it, don't let it fade away
Never let it fade away
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Don't be sad and lonely
Stay in touch don't fade away
Don't be sad and lonely
Stay in touch don't fade away
Don't be sad and lonely
You’ve got friends by your side
