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
