Last Goodbye
Lyricist:Bob Prather, Dick Miles, Kelso Herston
We 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 downtown to the grocery store'
Well, I didn't look up, just nodded okay 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 shuttered a minute At the thought of my world without her in it And I reassuringly sought the touch Of my wedding band
Well, I musta 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 be 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 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
