Jimmy Dean - Last Goodbye lyric
Ringtone: Send Last Goodbye Ringtone to your Cell Phone!
(Dick Miles - Kelso Herston - Bob Prather)
We'd finished dinner and I'd gone into the den
I turned on the TV when she walked in
Kissed me on the cheek like a million times before
She said I know it's late but if you don't mind
My shopping's got a little behind
And I think I'll drive downtown to the grocery store.
I didn't look up I just nodded okay
And asked her to hand me an ashtray, and she did
I reached over and squeezed her hand
And then she left and I shuddered a minute
And thought of my world without her in it
And reassuringly sought the touch of my wedding band.
I must have been dozin' 'cause I didn't hear the door
And I thought strange I've never done that before
But I looked up and she was standing by my chair
Huh kind of snuck up 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 teardrop in her eye
You'll never know how much I love you she said
And then I thought of the many years that we've been wed
As I told her no one could be as happy as I.
Then the strangest feeling filled that 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 but she drew away
And told me again that ours was a love that time could never erase.
Then I thought I heard a thousand voices singing
And I realized that was the telephone ringing
That's when I saw the halo surround her golden hair
I turned trembling to the receiver and heard a cold voice say
That there'd been a wreck out on the highway
And I knew that when I looked back she wouldn't be there.
Because (this was an angels way of saying goodbye...)
