The Last Goodbye

The Last Goodbye - Uncle Earl

Lock up the door, throw away the key, you'll get no more love from me
Don't you know my name, won't always be the same
   La dee day
Behind the door, beneath your feet, stepping on a heart that beats
I'm nearly 21, my race has only just begun

    Hang your head and cry
    You just said your last goodbye, babe

    Break

Cue up the band that plays in tune, my wedding day is coming soon
Do you ever wish you'd stayed, with the promise that you made
   La dee day
Tell me dear will it trouble your mind, when summer's come and the river's dry
And far away you'll hear, a band that's playing loud and clear

    Hang your head and cry
    You just said your last goodbye, babe

    Break

Let it rain, let it pour, don't know what I'm waiting for
But underneath my bed, are the words that you once said
    Hey babe, mm mm, let's marry in the summertime
Lock up the door, throw away the key, you'll get no more love from me
When the band is playing on, I'll be dreaming of a love long gone

    I'll hang my head and cry
    I just said my last goodbye, babe

    I'll hang my head and cry
    I just said my last goodbye, babe
