Don't Have to Be So Sad - Lyrics - Yo La Tengo

You and me were at some goldfish pond And I, I was tagging along for the ride All the big-mouthed fish really made us laugh And while I stood still, I felt a chill I thought that maybe you did too I wanted to feel that way forever And that's why if you're looking at me, I'll try To be what you want to see, and if I'm, if I'm ever that lucky You won't have to be so, you won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad Last night I was trying to read in bed I got to watching you sleep instead Even when I got tired, I couldn't stop Because I love you so and I pray you know But I'm not much for praying I knew I couldn't say that without making a joke And that's why if you're looking at me, I'll try To be what you want to see, and if I'm, if I'm ever that lucky You won't have to be so, you won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad Yeah, that's why if you're looking at me, I'll try To be what you want to see, and if I'm, if I'm ever that lucky You won't have to be so, you won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad, you won't have to be so sad
