She started reminiscing about the good times that we shared She painted pretty pictures While I hung on every word Then she started smiling When I kind of hoped that she would cry I remember thinking that At the time it was a funny way to say goodbye She cleaned the house from head to toe And cooked my favorite meal She stabbed me with a kiss and said In time my wounds would heal She found herself another pair of wings on which to fly Through my tears she told me It was a funny way to say goodbye I seen it in the movies I've read it in the books But I was unprepared She spoke about the weather The little things of life And wrapped up her goodbye in every word I sat there in a timeless trance With all my senses blurred She brought a little wine and asked Which color I preferred Sorry for it's sweetness but it was labeled medium dry My voice shook as I told her It was a funny way to say goodbye I seen it in the movies I've read it in the books But I was unprepared She spoke about the weather The little things of life And wrapped up her goodbye in every word She said she left the money for The milkman in the drawer Remember that we owed a pint to the widower next door From the door she muttered it was chilly for July I couldn't speak at all it was a funny way to say goodbye I couldn't speak at all it was a funny way to say goodbye
