Paul Williams - Sad Song (That Used To Be Our Song) Lyrics
That's a sad song
That used to be our song
The one you just played
I wonder if I'd stayed what we'd be doing now
We don't mean to be unkind
We just grow
That's a sad song
That used to be our song
And oh, she sang it too
And every word rang true like a bell somehow
When I ran off chasing visions my emotions made me blind
Like a fool I left behind my angel's glow
That symphony in rhyme
Let those old familiar feelin's start to show
Sing my favorite phrase
From those good old days
Let those tears and sweet memories flow
That's a sad song
That used to be our song
And oh you played it well
It isn't hard to tell you love it too
It amazes me to hear it - how it's beauty never ends
Now the music made us friends
I'm asking you
So play it one more time
That symphony in rhyme
Let those old familiar feelin's start to show
Sing my favorite phrase
From those good old days
Let those tears and sweet memories flow
It amazes me to hear it - how it's beauty never ends
Now the music made us friends
I'm asking you
So play it one more time
That symphony in rhyme
Let those old familiar feelin's start to show
Sing my favorite phrase
From those good old days
Let those tears and sweet memories flow

Paul Williams Sad Song (That Used To Be Our Song) Comments
I can never understand why he isn’t so much more widely known and appreciated. I was in single figures when I first heard him, and his music captivated me even then. I guess there ain’t many people like us around, eh?
I looked up the words musical genius in the dictionary couldn't find it.but I did find Paul Williams right where it should have been
good song hi paul
Anyone know the lyrics?
This is a wonderful and rarely known tune. And as good as this is, he performed this on The Muppet Show, and that version is probably even more beautiful.
I'm grateful for the length. I wasn't ready to let it go at 3:15... Perfection.
whoa I didn't expect it to be 6 minutes long
I remember listening to this on the muppet show. I've been singing it to myself for pretty much10 years. This man is way too underated
I know P Williams since the movie phantom of the paradise. 1974.
I love his voice. And I have this record vinyl. Why not have put a little bit of love that goes with the cover of the disc
Didier ( country France)
anyone know this song's history? why it disappeared after being featured on the muppets? It took me finding an Lp in Japan in order to own this song.
The song didn't really disappear. It was on Paul's LP "a little bit of love" on A&M Records. Paul used to close his concerts singing this song.
So cute!♡
Paul is one of the BEST....EVER ...as a SINGER & COMPOSER !!!
SOOOOOO GOOOOODDDDDD!!!!
All of Paul's music is amazing- but this touches a nerve! Love the muppet version!
ahh cmon guys, Paul needed to sing till he couldnt on that one.. if you aint cryin by the time the songs over, are you even human?
one of my favorite artist
it is such a shame he is not well known!
+juliakopecka10 He's not? I would challenge you to find anyone over 21 who doesn't know at least a half dozen songs Paul has worked on.
Song Writing Genius
@Charles Williams Well, this IS the same guy the composed the Muppet Movie's soundtrack AND was a friend of the late Jim Henson for many years until his death in 1990. So, yeah, being a creative mastermind kind of went without saying.
well,"you are rigjht. "
Dark Crystal
The most under-rated genius of music and poetry. I have been a fan forever!
Absolutely.
This is one of those songs that, once it gets it's hooks into you it doesn't let go. I've probably listened to it at least 20 times today...
I've really loved this guy since I was three years old. Im forty now. Can't stop loving that old fashion invitational style. A great songwriter.
I have loved him forever.
! But mostly now that I lost my mate. You and me against the world says it all for me joyce
When it comes to Paul Williams, I've met two kinds of people; those who don't know who he is and those that love him.
I ran into him at a restaurant in Denver. He was wonderful. I told him how his music has been such a positive force on people.
always my favorite singer.Thankyou for posting this.
@MrGabeanator While it was featured on the muppet show it not only was a different version but this song came before the show took him on. (i know people will hate me for this)
Different take on it than the version from "The Muppet Show", more gospel-y. Still nice though, if a bit overlong. It loses a bit around the 5:00 mark, where his delivery starts getting clipped.
marathonmongoose Paul sang a song in a movie .I think it was in the 70s or early 80s can't remember the name of it sorry. can anyone help thanks
what a great melody and his voice is so different and unique ..its great ...I love the nasal sounds. He is such a great creator of songs and music and feelings
THE MUPPET SHOW
It is good, isn't it?
Oh yes! The legendary Paul Williams
Oddly enough, I can actually kind of picture that working, somehow... O.o
great song but this version is unnecessarily long.
Thank you for the upload!
...I can really see why they abridged this song it for the Muppets, it actually works kinda better that way.
Strange, but I wish Amy Winehouse had covered this. It would have been beautiful.
