Sad but true, I'll always love you Knowing full well that you don't love me I love you, though I don't want to This love I'll hold on to, it's sad but true Sad but true, memories I retrace Trying to recall the times you loved me Dreams of you I'll never erase Haunted by your face, sad but true Sad but true, in every life There's times when hearts collide In star-crossed love that wasn't meant to be Sadder still, the heart that's true Long after love has died That heart goes on hurting The other heart goes free Sad but true, true to my heart's ways Waiting for you and hoping you'll see Until you do, each night my heart prays Loving you always, sad but true Sad but true, in every life There's times when hearts collide In star-crossed love that wasn't meant to be Sad but true, in every life Sad but true, in every life There's times when hearts collide In star-crossed love that wasn't meant to be Sadder still, the heart that's true Sadder still, the heart that's true Long after love has died That heart goes on hurting The other heart goes free Sad but true, true to my heart's ways Waiting for you and hoping you'll see Until you do, each night my heart prays Loving you always, sad but true
