Jimmy Dean "Last Goodbye" |
(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...) Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
