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 its 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
