I really do love Sarah and she really does love me And we're about as happy as a pair in love can be One day I said to Sarah before we run away Let me get your dad's permission This is what he had to say Say something nice to Sarah every day Treat Sarah in the kindest kind of way Don't ever leave her all alone Or when you come back she'll be gone She hurts mighty easy watch you say Say something nice to Sarah every day Well, now I'm still loving Sarah and as the years go by Some think I've made her happy some think I've made her cry She had her share of trouble fall upon her pretty head But she comes right back a smiling When I do what her daddy said Say something nice to Sarah every day Treat Sarah in the kindest kind of way Don't ever leave her all alone Or when you come back she'll be gone She hurts mighty easy watch you say Say something nice to Sarah every day And say something nice to Sarah every day
