Verse 1

The first thought through my sleepy head

 When I fell out of my bed

 Is "I hope the sky is gray,

 I'm gonna write a sad song today."

 So I make up my mind, slip on my shoes

 I'm gonna pick up a paper and read the news

 'Cause I'm sure to find plenty 'nuff blues

 To write my sad song

 But when I open the door and the sun spills through

 Takes away my breath and I think of you

 And the only blues to hit my eyes

 Are those beautiful blues in the clear blue sky!

Chorus

So much for my sad song

So much for my sorry attitude

Let's make this a love song instead

'Cause I'm so in love with you

C'mon let's go out and play

Save the sad song for another day

No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile

 So much for my sad song Yeah

Verse 2

 So I pick up the news like I said I would

Drop my jaw right where I stood

 'Cause the headline reads: "All The News Is Good,

 Because Love Is On The Way!"

 And love floods the world right before my eyes

 Everybody is dancin' and slappin' high fives

 And such beautiful music fills the skies

 And we all sing along

 And now I snap out of my daydream

 And I can't believe how real it seems

 But I keep on dancin' anyway

 'Cause it's turning out to be a marvelous day!

Chorus

So much for my sad song

So much for my sorry attitude

Let's make this a love song instead

'Cause I'm so in love with you

C'mon let's go out and play

Save the sad song for another day

No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile

 So much for my sad song

Bridge

Sometimes I measure my day

 By how many things go my way

 And when things go wrong I usually get mad

 But this time I’m glad that my song didn’t turn out sad

Chorus

So much for my sad song

So much for my sorry attitude

Let's make this a love song instead

'Cause I'm so in love with you

C'mon let's go out and play

Save the sad song for another day

No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile

(<- Sustain )

No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile

 So much for my sad song

 So much for my sad song
