A Kiss Goodbye
Sometimes when I’m up real late at night
Staring up at the pretty sky
I lay my head back onto the wet pillow
And close my pretty eyes.
Those dreams of you when you still loved me
Kept creeping in my head
But you ain’t here no more and I don’t know why
Hate to sleep alone in this bed.
And when I see your eyes looking back at me
And the dreams never seem to fade
It’s kind of sad how I’d hoped that you’d still come home
And look at all the mess you’ve made.
I don’t see how I was supposed to know
That when we fought and you slammed the door
That it was the very last time that you would come home
That I wouldn’t see you anymore.
You said that you were gonna take a plane
To visit some old friends
Said you had to get out, get away from me
Didn’t know that was the end.
And I couldn’t stand the September cold
Since it caused me so much pain
So I took a walk in the dark, wet night
My tears the color of the rain.
In the morning when I turned on the news
And saw New York uproar
Twin towers ablaze, I was in a daze
You were gone forevermore.
And the hardest part about you leaving me
Isn’t even that I cry
No the hardest part about you leaving me
Is that I didn’t get a kiss goodbye.
