The Beginning Of Goodbye

Last night I heard a record playing

On the radio as I walked through the door

And the song revived some sweet old memories

‘Cause I knew I’ve heard the tune somewhere before

I stopped a moment and I listened

And then I finally realized

That you were here the night you wrote it

The song called The Beginning Of Goodbye

I knew that night that it was over

And that I couldn’t keep you should I try

‘Cause you were really talking to me

When you wrote The Beginning Of Goodbye

You left and patiently I waited

‘Cause I believed you’d write to me

But you don’t have time there for an old friend

With your new friends in Nashville Tennessee
