Jan Smith
Longest Goodbye


Oh I think this must be
the longest goodbye in history
Oh and the saddest surprise
is to discover new tears in my eyes

Hello to Sally and goodnight to Ann
What I couldn’t give you maybe they can
But it’s unfair for you to say
that I never really tried anyway

Oh I think this must be
the longest goodbye in history
Oh and another mistake
was thinking your heart was one I could break

My love to Sally and to Anna Brown
May they keep you warm in that mountain town
‘cause I never stay, I always go
But why do I tell you what you already know

Oh I think this must be
the longest goodbye in history
Oh and the saddest surprise
is to discover new tears in my eyes
Oh I’ve discovered these new, new tears
and this is the longest goodbye
