PACK UP YOUR SORROWS
[Chorus]
AAh, but if somehow you could pDack up your sorrows,
AAnd give them all to Eme,
YAou would lose them, I Dknow how to use them,
GAive them Eall to Ame.
No Ause crying, talkDing to a stranger,
NaAming the sorrows you've sEeen.
ToAo many bad times, tDoo many sad times,
AnAd nobody knEows what you mAean.
[Chorus]
AAh, but if somehow you could pDack up your sorrows,
AAnd give them all to Eme,
YAou would lose them, I Dknow how to use them,
GAive them Eall to Ame.
No Ause rambling, waDlking in the shadows,
TrAailing a wandering sEtar.
No Aone beside you, Dno one to hide you,
NAobody knEows where you Aare.
[Chorus]
AAh, but if somehow you could pDack up your sorrows,
AAnd give them all to Eme,
YAou would lose them, I Dknow how to use them,
GAive them Eall to Ame.
No Ause roaming, lyDing by the roadside,
SeAeking a satisfied miEnd.
ToAo many highways, tDoo many byways,
AAnd nobodEy's walking bAehind.
[Chorus]

AAnd give them all to Eme,
YAou would lose them, I Dknow how to use them,
