The Long Goodbye

V1. 
I never expected it would end like this
Maybe I was just naïve
I’ve had so much loss already
Now I sit in disbelief
Time is a thief. I’m stricken with grief
As tears fill my blood shot eyes
And they fall like the rains we prayed for
To keep the springtime crops alive

Chorus
What do I do? How do I cope?
Where do I go from here?
It’s a slippery slope when you lose hope
I pray God’s answer is near.
I cry and question why?
I wish there was more time to buy
But the simple answer is
We’ve started the long goodbye

V2.
The faraway look when you passed me
You didn’t see me as your wife
Our memories have left your mind
And you are my whole life
The family farm and the children
So many decisions to be made
But I can tell you’re ready to leave us
By the helpless look on your face.

Chorus
What do I do? How do I cope?
Where do I go from here?
It’s a slippery slope when you lose hope
I pray God’s answer is near.
I cry and question why
I wish there was more time to buy
But the simple answer is
We’ve started the long goodbye

Bridge
The long goodbye is the walk of the brave
Wouldn’t wish it on my enemy
But side by side and hand in hand
I’ll walk you into eternity.

Chorus
What do I do? How do I cope?
Where do I go from here?
It’s a slippery slope when you lose hope
I pray God’s answer is near.
I cry and question why
I wish there was more time to buy
But the simple answer is
We’ve started the long goodbye

I cry and question why
I wish there was more time to buy
But the simple answer is
We’ve started the long goodbye

I cry and question why
I wish there was more time to buy
But the simple answer is
We’ve started the long goodbye
