(C. Murphy/Sloan) 



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
