SHE SAID SO LONG SO LONG AGO
YOU'D THINK BY NOW I WOULD HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL
I TRIED TO RUN WITH IT
WHEN LOVE WAS ON A ROLL
BUT THERE IS NO WHERE TO RUN
WHEN HEARTACHE HAS YOUR SOUL

SHE SAID BYE BYE SO LONG
SORROWS ON A ROLL
I FEARED SHE'D NEVER STAY
I PRAYED SHE'D NEVER FIND THE STRENGTH TO GO
I WONDERED IF IT'S BEST
IF SHE'D GO SLOW
BUT WHEN SHE SAID SO LONG
I GUESS MY TEARS SAY IT ALL

I CAN'T LOOK PAST HER EYES
LOOKIN AT ME
THE EYES OF HAPPINESS HELD MY FACE
SO LOVINGLY
I CALL HER NAME
WITH EACH WAKING MEMORY
THATS IF LONELINESS
WOULD EVER LET ME GO TO SLEEP

SHE SAID BYE BYE SO LONG
SORROWS ON A ROLL
I FEARED SHE'D NEVER STAY
I PRAYED SHE'D NEVER FIND THE STRENGTH TO GO
I WONDERED IF IT'S BEST
IF SHE'D GO SLOW
BUT WHEN SHE SAID SO LONG
I GUESS MY TEARS SAY IT ALL
