Girl You Sure Know How to Say Goodbye

(Tom T. Hall)



(Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.)



You kissed me and you said I was a gentleman to you

You said I was a person you could trust

You told me that you love me in a way that couldn't die

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.



You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye

I stood and watched you walk away and I didn't even cry

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.

You gave me that old pep talk as you cried on my sleeve

You said that you'd come running day or night

You said that I could call on you throughout my lonely life

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye.



You kissed me in a way you never did when love was right

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye

I stood and watched you walk away and I didn't even cry

Girl, you sure know how to say goodbye...
