Sweetest Goodbye

No matter how many times we've done this, and we've done it so many times
It never does get easier when it's time to say goodbye.
And I'll wear your memory underneath my shirt like an Indian tattoo
Crushed by conscience and mental slide show and a dream of kissing you
This is sweetest goodbye when I get home, we're going to sleep all day just you and I
And if you never left you'd never know why, you need to go in the first place
And I picture your sweet face, picture your sweet face, picture your sweet . . .
Sweetest goodbye, the sweetest goodbye
Now there's two of you that I find myself saying goodbye to
And at night there's three of us in my head before I fall asleep
And I know we need the money, though I hope it doesn't show
Because whatever I got coming comes to me when we're alone
This is sweetest goodbye when I get home, we're going to sleep all day just you and I
And if you never left you'd never know why, you need to go in the first place
And I picture your sweet face, picture your sweet face, picture your sweet . . .
Sweetest goodbye, the sweetest goodbye
The sweetest goodbye, the sweetest goodbye
Every second of every minute of every hour of every day
I'm thinking of the things that I can say to make you miss me when I go away
(The sweetest goodbye)
This is sweetest goodbye when I get home, we're going to sleep all day just you and I
And if you never left you'd never know why
The sweetest goodbye, the sweetest goodbye
The sweetest goodbye, the sweetest goodbye
