The Long Goodbye

Cm
There’s a long goodbye.
G7                       Bb7   G7
And it happens everyday
Cm
when some passerby
Fm7
invites your eye
Bb7
to come her way.
Dm7
Even as she smiles
Dm7
a quick hello,
Dm7
you’ve let her go.
           Cm
You’ve let the moment fly.

Cm                                      Fm7
Too late you’d turn your head,
      Dm7                        G7
you’d know you’ve said
Cm
the long goodbye.

        G7                     Bb7   G7
Can you recognise the theme –
Cm
on some other street
Fm7
two people meet
Bb7
as in a dream,
Dm7
running for a plane
Dm7
through the rain.
Dm7                     Cm
If the heart is quicker than the eye,
Fm7
they could be lovers
  G7       Cm
Until they die.

Cm
It’s too late to try
Cm     Fm7
when a missed hello
Dm7         G7   Cm
becomes the long goodbye.
