The Last Goodbye

the last goodbye (harold reid, don reid, phil balsley, lew dewitt) afraid her tears might move my mind i decided to drop her a line because where she’s concerned i just ain’t strong. i couldn’t look her in the eye and say our last goodbye i tried it time and time before but it went wrong. so in this letter she will find all the things that’s on my mind and i’m sure she’ll find the man to do her right. i know jim and bill will be happy that she’s free chances are she’ll be booked up every night. and see things she’d never see tied down to a guy like me there’s a better side of life she’s never known. and i know she’ll be alright once i’m gone out of her life she may not even realize i’m gone. so i wrote it down this time and i read it line for line but it didn’t read just like i meant it to. all the things i meant to say came out sounding some other way all the goodbye’s came out sounding i love you. all the goodbye’s came out sounding i love you
