A Better Way To Say Good-Bye

A BETTER WAY TO SAY GOOD-BYE WRITTEN BY RAY DEARTH 06-27-07

I KINOW YOUR MINDS MADE UP YOUR ALL READY TO GO
YOUR BAGS ARE ALL PACKED AND SITTING AT THE DOOR
IT’S TRUE YOU DON’T OWE ME ONE SINGLE THING
BUT I HAVE ONE FINAL FAVOR TO ASK OF YOU AGAIN


GIVE ME ONE FINAL MINUTE LET HOLD YOUR HAND
GIVE ME ONE LAST SECOND TO TAKE IT ALL IN
GIVE ME ONE PRESIOUS MEMORY THAT WILL LAST MY WHOLE LIFE
LIKE OUR VERY FIRST KISS ON OUR VERY FIRST NIGHT
SO MANY LOST MEMORIES AND SO LITTLE TIME
SO MANY LITTLE THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE RIGHT
IF I’D SEEN THAT TRAIN A COMING I WOULD HAVE STEPPED ASIDE
AND WOULDN’T BE SEARCHING FOR A BETTER WAY TO SAY GOD-BYE

I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING AND YOUR PROBABLY RIGHT
YOUR MINDS MADE UP AND I CAN’T TURN BACK TIME
I’VE PRAY FOR THE STRENGH TO BE STRONG LIKE YOU
AND I’VE TRIED TO EXCEPT THE FACT THAT WE ARE THROUGH


BUT I NEED ONE FINAL MINUTE TO HOLD YOUR HAND
JUST ONE LAST SECOND TO TAKE IT ALL IN
I NEED ONE PRESIOUS MEMORY TO LAST MY WHOLE LIFE
LIKE THE PICTURE I’M HOLDING OF OUR WEDDING NIGHT
SO MANY LOST MEMORIES AND SO LITTLE TIME
SO MANY LITTLE THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE RIGHT
IF I’D SEEN THAT TRAIN A COMING I WOULD HAVE STEPPED ASIDE
AND WOULDN’T BE SEARCHING FOR A BETTER WAY TO SAY GOD-BYE
