Goodbye

(Mark Erelli)

Darlin' it's the end for you and I

We've both seen this coming for some time

I could say I'm sorry

But you'd not believe it

You could say you'll change

But honey I'd be dreaming

To drag this on too long would be a crime

There's hard words to be said and tears to cry

The faster we begin

The sooner we can end

So help me find a way to say goodbye

Parting's such sweet sorrow

But there's always tomorrow

Another chance that you'll get lucky

Though the odds they're not so grand

You'll find someone to love or even someone you can stand

You and I we owe it to ourselves

To put this sad affair back on the shelf

Pull the shades down tightly

And lock up as we leave

Just one more kiss goodbye

Before we throw away the keys

Darlin' lose that twinkle in your eye

Take your hand remove it from my thigh

'Cause one more time will only lead to one more time and then

Next thing you know we'll have to go through all of this again

We already know how the story's gonna end
