[Verse 1]
I ran out of excuses
On the twenty-third of March
Had to look the truth straight in the eye
She never said a word
She just walked away
It's always been my favorite goodbye
[Verse 2]
When you read this letter
I'll be a million miles away
You can't reach me, no matter how you try
Think of summer days
And the way I made you laugh
It's always been my favorite goodbye
[Bridge]
Look back, look back
She heard me call
She took everything but time
Look back, look back
There's nothing left
Time takes evеrything but love
[Verse 3]
Now I wander through the sеasons
Like a ghost out of a book
I never feel the moments passing by
Sometimes I think I see her
Disappearing 'round a corner
It's always been my favorite goodbye
[Verse 4]
Some will leave the money
On the bureau as they're leaving
Others look so sad you think they'll cry
She left like a fading note
In a children's melody
And it's always been my favorite goodbye
[Bridge]
Look back, look back
She heard me call
She took everything but time
Look back, look back
There's nothing left
Time takes everything but love
[Verse 5]
"Do you want a blindfold?"
Said the captain of the guard
To the prisoner who was condemned to die
The soldier shook his head
And he gave a little smile
And it's always been my favorite goodbye
