The Last Goodbye Songtext

The Last Goodbye Songtext

We′d just finished our dinner and
I'd gone in the den and turned on the TV
When she walked in and kissed me on the cheek, like a million times before
And she said "Honey, I know it′s late
But if you don't mind, my shopping's gotten a little behind
So, I think I′ll drive down town to the grocery store"
Well, I didn′t look up
Just nodded "OK", and asked her to hand me an ashtray
And when she did, I reached over and squeezed her hand
And then she left
And I shuddered a minute at the thought of my world, without her in it
And I reassuringly sought the touch of my wedding band

Well, I must've been dozing ′cause I didn't hear the door
And I thought, "now, that′s strange; I've never done that before"
But I looked up, and she was standing by my chair
"Kinda snucked in on me", I said
And she smiled and nodded her head
And I told her that she looked just like an angel, standing there


For a long moment, she didn′t say a thing
And then she caressed her gold wedding ring
And I thought I saw a tear drop in her eye
"Honey, you'll never know how much I love you", she said

And I thought of the many years that we had been wed
As I told her that no one could be as happy as I
And then the strangest feeling filled the room
Not one of happiness but one of gloom

And for the first time in my life
I saw sadness in her face
I reached out to touch her, and she drew away
And she told me again
That ours was a love that time could never erase

And then I thought I heard a thousand voices singing
But I realized it was the telephone ringing
And that's when I saw the halo surround her pretty, golden hair
I turned, trembling, to the receiver and heard a cold voice say that
There had been a wreck out on the highway
And I knew that, when I looked back
She wouldn′t be there, because
It was an angel′s way of saying our last goodbye
