Long distance   Last good-bye, can't groove it   One last try, it's all over      We didn't even cry   All I know is that the world came between us   And the love got left behind   No news flash, funeral   Half-mast flags on the day that our love died   I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye      So I just called to say good-bye   Did you burn my pictures yet?   Anything to try to forget it's all over      All I can do to stay on the line   All I know is that the world came between us   And the love got left behind   No news flash, funeral   Half-mast flags on the day that our love died   I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye      So I just called to say good-bye   We both know how hard it is for both of us to try   We both know how hot it is in Texas in July   So what am I supposed to say?   How's the weather anyway?      This time I called to say good-bye   Who'd have thought it would end like this?   Without even a good-bye kiss   No one could say we didn't try the years flew past      We tried to make it last   But the love got left behind   No news flash, funeral   Half-mast flags on the day that our love died   I'd tell you face to face if I could look you in the eye      So I just called to say good-bye   I just called to say there's nothing really left to say   So I just called to say good-bye
