So Sad

"So Sad" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1974 album Dark Horse. Harrison originally gave the song to Alvin Lee, guitarist and singer with Ten Years After, who recorded it, as "So Sad (No Love of His Own)", with singer Mylon LeFevre for their 1973 album On the Road to Freedom. Harrison wrote "So Sad" in New York in 1972 and it is the only song known to have been written by him about the failure of his first marriage, to Pattie Boyd.

Harrison recorded his version of the song at the couple's home, Friar Park, in November 1973, eight months before Boyd left him for his friend Eric Clapton. Besides Harrison's extensive contributions, the other musicians on the recording include Nicky Hopkins and Ringo Starr.

    So Sad

    by: The Softies

    no one notices such a slow decline
    I used to be yours and you used to be mine
    you used to be mine
    you used to be mine
    you and me alone here
    is just a memory
    nothing grows here and nothing ever will
    it all died a while ago but I wait here still
    I wait here still
    you and me alone here
    is just a memory
    I can't help you
    and you can't help me
    it's so sad
    so sad
    no one notices such a slow decline
    I used to be yours and you used to be mine
    you used to be mine
    you used to be mine
    you and me alone here
    is just a memory
