Nothin' but a Long Goodbye - David Mallett

Nothin' but a Long Goodbye Lyrics

Somedays shine so brightly, like gold dust in a pan
And some days you hold so lightly they go slipping right thru your hand
And those of us who are so lucky get to grow old before we die
Somethimes it seems this old life ain't nothin' but a long goodbye
Fallen leaves outside my window on this October day
I always dreamed the last rows of summer are fading in grey
And when I see the seasons changing, it brings a tear unto my eye
Somtimetimes it seems this old life ain't nothin' but a long goodbye
And every day people leaving for someplace far away
And everyday people greivin' over things they did't do or say
And in the great big picture it's just a twinkling of an eye
Sometimes it seems this old life ain't nothin' but a long goodbye
