Last Goodbye Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

We had promised to be wed when we said goodbye that night 

While the moon and stars were shining from the sky 

For our hearts were full of joy and the future looked so bright 

I never thought that we were sayin' our last goodbye 

I was only leaving you for just a little while 

To find a home where we'd be happy by and by 

Then you kissed me with a smile and you said you'll wait for me 

I never thought that we were sayin' our last goodbye 

It was only one short year till I found a little place 

And started back to you to hear your happy sigh 

I was thinking only of the smile upon your face 

I never thought that we had said our last goodbye 

All the story that was told when I knocked upon your door 

Broke my heart in two and how it made me cry 

For that told me you had gone and didn't love me anymore 

Then I knew that we had said our last goodbye
