Pop Song 369 of 500 'There'll be sad songs' Billy Ocean 1986
According to Barry Eastmond, the song was inspired by an incident involving Ocean's single of the previous year, "Suddenly". Eastmond told Fred Bronson in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits about a friend of his wife's who had recently broken up with a long-term boyfriend. While at a party thrown by her new boyfriend, the song "Suddenly", which reminded her of her previous boyfriend, was played, and she broke down in tears. Eastmond and his co-writers used this scenario as the basis for writing "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)"
Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
When I'm standing beside you
There's a fever burning deep inside
Is there another in your memory?
Do you think of that someone
When you hear that special melody?
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you"
(I love you)
I often wonder how it could be you loving me
Two hearts in perfect harmony
I'll count the hours until that day (until that day)
A rhapsody plays a melody for you and me
Until the moment that you give your love to me
You're the one I care for
The one that I would wait for
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you"
(I love you)
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you"
You're my desire
You take me higher
My love is like a river running so deep
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you"
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you"
(I love you)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Oooh, saying, "I love you"
I love you
