Eric Clapton with The Allman Brothers Band "Why Has Love Got To Be So Sad"

Moving on with my Saturday Afternoon Rockfest - Music Interlude, I bring you Eric Clapton with The Allman Brothers Band "Why Has Love Got To Be So Sad"... As you know, the Allman Brothers Band is another great Rock Group from back in the day, so this should get you going!

BACKGROUND:
"The Allman Brothers Band is an American rock/blues band once based in Macon, Georgia. The band was formed in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, organ, songwriting), plus Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). While the band has been called the principal architects of Southern rock, they also incorporate elements of blues, jazz, and country music, and their live shows have jam band-style improvisation and instrumental songs."

LYRICS:

Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday
How can I ever hope to forget you?

Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know you're going to break my heart if I let you

[Chorus:]
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?

Like a moth to a flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you
Like a bird on the wing

I can't keep from singing about you

[Chorus:]

I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you
Stop running away
I've got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you

[Chorus:]
