We'd just finished our dinner
And I'd gone in the den and turned on the TV
When she walked in and kissed me on the cheek
Like a million times before and she said
"Honey, I know it's late, but if you don't mind
My shopping's gotten a little behind
So I think I'll drive downtown to the grocery store."
Well, I didn't look up
I just nodded OK and asked her to hand me an ashtray
When she did, I reached over
Squeezed her hand and then she left
I shuddered for a minute at the thought
Of my world without her in it
And I reassuringly sought the touch of my wedding band
Well, I must have been dozing
'Cause I didn't hear the door
I thought, now that's strange
I'd never done that before
But I looked up and she was standing by my chair
"Kinda snuck up on me," I said
She smiled and nodded her head
I told her that she looked
Just like an Angel standing there
For a long moment she didn't say a thing
Then she caressed her golden wedding ring
I thought I saw a teardrop in her eye
"Honey, you'll never know
How much I Love You," she said
I thought of the many years we'd been wed
As I told her that no one can be as happy as I
Then, the strangest feeling filled the room
Not one of happiness but of gloom
For the first time in my life
I saw sadness in her face
I reached out to touch her
And she drew away and she told me again
That ours was a Love that time could never erase
Then I thought I heard a thousand voices singing
But I realized it was just the telephone ringing
That's when I saw the halo
Surround her pretty golden hair
I turned trembling to the receiver
And heard a cold voice say
That there had been a wreck out on the highway
And I knew that when I looked back
She wouldn't be there
Because it was an Angel's way of saying
Our LAST GOODBYE
