She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye

(Mickey Newbury - Doug Gilmore)



Morning's come and Lord my mind is aching

The sunshine's standing quietly at my door

Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking

With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor.



Once again this whole town will be talking

Lord I've seen that pity that's in their eyes

They couldnever understand it's her sorrow and not a man

No matter what they say I know she tried.



Baby has packed her soft things and she's left me

But I just know she never meant to make me cry

It's not her heart it's just her mind she didn't mean to be unkind

Why she even woke me up to say goodbye.
