Last Goodbye
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this, and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
Oh, this is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
Kiss me out of desire, baby, not consolation
Oh, you know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye
Did you say, "no, this can't happen to me!"
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind, in the back of your mind
Saying, "maybe, you didn't know him at all..."
The bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes
And the memory of her sighs that, "it's over..."
