And though no one knows for certain 
Where or when I'll draw the curtain 
It's because it's been said that 
I love a long goodbye 

We broke it off I've not forgotten 
But I thought that this could be 
An opportunity for us to try 

To examine my reluctant leaving 
Since I'm sad and if you're lonesome call 
I love a long goodbye 

Ooooh 
That's unworthy of me 
Mind you 
I need to know you love me 

Look at things from my perspective please 
Just what about me makes my motives seem 
So hard to justify 

Talk to me tomorrow 
I might have another story 
I'll make sure I do 
I love a long goodbye 

Ooooh 
That's unworthy of me 
Mind you 
I need to know you love me 
Goodbye, you 
Can know this for certain 
I love you 
And I hate to draw the curtain
