Lyrics

The Last Goodbye

As I lay my body
Down to go to sleep
I pray the Lord my Mama's
Soul to keep
She left for California
To visit an old friend
But her plane crashed down and
I won't see her again

Chorus:
Now she don't wake me in the mornin'
Or kiss my cheek good night
She won't be there when I'm feeling lonely
Or ever hold me tight
If I could only see her
Just for one more time
I didn't know when she left that mornin'
It was the last goodbye

When she left that morning
She kissed my face and cried
Said she'd be gone for just a little
Then she said goodbye
My Daddy tries to tell me
That things will be all right
But then he holds me oh, so tightly
And he starts to cry

Chorus:
Now she don't wake me in the mornin'
Or kiss my cheek good night
She won't be there when I'm feeling lonely
Or ever hold me tight
If I could only see her
Just for one more time
I didn't know when she left that mornin'
It was the last goodbye

So, Lord, if you might see her
Don't tell her I've been cryin'
Cuz I know how she worries
About me all the time
Please tell her that I love her
And that I'm doing fine
It's just so hard to be without her
But I'm really tryin'

Chorus:
Now she don't wake me in the mornin'
Or kiss my cheek good night
She won't be there when I'm feeling lonely
Or ever hold me tight
If I could only see her
Just for one more time
I didn't know that September mornin'
Would be the last goodbye

If I could only see her
Just for one more time
I didn't know that September mornin'
Would be the last goodbye
