Hmm I heard an old song today and it took me to yesterday
Back to the time when your love was mine now the song lingers on in my mind
Stirring mem'ries that I'd left behind the time of my life when I was your wife
Now the song I've heard was our song today
Today the strangest thing happened and I just had the right to tell you about it
Remember the guitar that you sent little Jimmy on his birthday
Well he sure is learning to play it
Today he played a song just for me but I had to turn away so he wouldn't see me cry
Cause you see he was playin' our song the one that used to be his lullaby
I heard our song my dear and it brought you so close so near
Though years have gone by it still made me cry when I heard our song today mhm

Thank you baby for teaching me the world is really round
There's more to it than my two eyes can see
Thank you baby for showing me that black is sometimes grey
And the alphabet is more than ABC
Thanks for explaining that there are things the best left unexplain
But thanks for tryin' hard to answer all my questions just the same
Thanks for thinking that much of me
But most of all baby thanks for tryin' so hard to love me
[ ac.guitar ]
Thank you baby for never promising thanks you couldn't give
For never lie just make yourself look good
Thank you baby for never pushing me down the path I shouldn't go
And with all my fate and trust you know you could
Thanks for opening my eyes things I couldn't know
Wrapped in my ---- for I had all those seeds to grow
Thanks for thinking that much of me
But most of all baby thanks for tryin' so hard to love me
Thank you baby I wanna thank you baby

I won't say he won't ever stumble but I'm clingin' to my baby's hand
I won't say he won't bring me trouble but I won't say I won't understand
I won't say he'll love me forever cause forever's a long long time
But I will say he will never ever say she was never mine
Tomorrow could be forever away still I'd love him no less than I love him today
So tonight sleep will find me while it still can just clingin' to my baby's hand
Tomorrow could be forever...

With pen in hand you signed your name today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone oh so alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own you'll be on your own
Can you take good care of Jenny can you take her to school everyday
Can you teach her how to play all the games that little girls play
Now hear what I say
Can you teach her how to roll up her hair
Can you make sure each night she says her prayer
If you can do all these things then maybe she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
And you look at the pillow where I laid my head
With your heart on fire will you have no desire to hold me and to kiss me
And if you can forget the good times we've had
If you don't think our good times outweigh the bad
Well then sign your name and I'll be on my way yes I'll be on my way hmm

(Puttin' pain on paper crying in permanent blue)
When I began this letter I had hopes I wouldn't cry
But I always knew it would cause me more than a stamp to tell you goodbye
Puttin' pain on paper mailing all my hurt to you
Puttin' pain on paper crying in permanent blue

Now this pen lets me say the things I could never say to you
But these shaky lines would look as sad in any shade of blue
Puttin' pain on paper...

I'm glad this ink is permanent it proves I'm not all done
Cause if tears could wash these words away you wouldn't know who they're from
Puttin' pain on paper...
Crying in permanent blue

Don't say a word just kiss me kiss me kiss me (for soon we must part)
We only have a little time you're feeling sad I can tell
I know my love what's on your mind my heart is breaking as well
But darling don't say a word just give me give me give me all the love you can give
And let your heart be with me with me with me as long as you live
[ strings ]
Don't say a word just kiss me kiss me kiss me for soon we must part
And when you're gone please miss me miss me miss me with all of your heart

Makin' mem'ries to last the lifetime a lifetime I'll be living without you
It feels so good to be in your arms tonight
And to think it's the last time don't seem right
But let's be happy to the end as parting sweet sorrow begins
Makin' mem'ries to last the lifetime countin' every minute left with you
Makin' mem'ries to last the lifetime a lifetime I'll be living without you
So hold me forever tonight and kiss me a thousand goodbyes
And don't let sadness cross my mind but leave happy mem'ries behind
Makin' mem'ries to last the lifetime I'm lovin' every minute left with you
Makin' mem'ries to last the lifetime a lifetime I'll be living without you

It's a middle of the night what's on your mind I'd like to know
Your coming here just isn't right you didn't stop to say hello
Is she walking out on you or did you choose to let her go
There must be something on your mind you didn't stop to say hello
Well come on in close the door don't stand there trembling in the cold
You'll have the neighbors talking more I'd better turn the lights down low
And go ahead and shed a tear don't be afraid to let it show
You know I'll always landed near you didn't stop to say hello
What's a matter can't you see for you haven't said one single word
You look so tired and so weak things must be worse than what I've heard
Oh I guess it's useless to pretend because you know I love you so
You know you're welcome back again I'm glad you stopped to say hello

There's a long line of mourners driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
They're all of your rich friends her knew you in the city
And now they finally oh they've brought you back home to me
When you left me you told me that someday you'd be returnin'
In a fancy car for all our town to see
Now everyone is watching you finally got your dream
For you're ridin' in a long black limousine
All the papers told of how you lost your life
Of the party and that fatal crash that night
Bout the race upon the highway and that curve you didn't see
And now you're ridin' in a long black limousine
[ steel ]
Now through tear dimmed eyes I watch as you ride by
With the chauffer at the wheel he's dressed so fine
Oh but I'll never love another cause my heart and my every dream
Ride with you in that long black limousine ride with you in that long black limousine

She only smiled and said hello but your eyes were stars aglow
And I knew her hello was my goodbye
She held your hand a bit too long as I stood there lookin' on
And I watched you I watched you fall in love
Was it the time was it the place or was it her pretty face
That held you like a moth around the flame
Though it's hard to realize still I know my eyes don't lie
The fact remains you love her just the same
In a twinkle of an eye my dreamworld fell from your sky
I knew her hello was my goodbye
[ ac.guitar ]
I know you'll try hard to explain but won't you please fail me the pain
I knew her hello was my goodbye
