I love a long goodbye

And though no one knows for certain
Where or when I'll draw the curtain
It's because it's been said that
I love a long goodbye

We broke it off I've not forgotten
But I thought that this could be
An opportunity for us to try

To examine my reluctant leaving
Since I'm sad and if you're lonesome call
I love a long goodbye

Ooooh
That's unworthy of me
Mind you
I need to know you love me

Look at things from my perspective please
Just what about me makes my motives seem
So hard to justify

Talk to me tomorrow
I might have another story
I'll make sure I do
I love a long goodbye

Ooooh
That's unworthy of me
Mind you
I need to know you love me
Goodbye, you
Can know this for certain
I love you
And I hate to draw the curtain
