Artist/Band: Jimmy Dean
Lyrics for Song: Last Goodbye
Lyrics for Album: Speaker of the House [RCA Victor] [1968]



(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...)
