Another Way To Say Goodbye

(album: A Picture Of Me (Without You) - 1972)

I can't leave you in the morning
When you wake your childs little head looks so appealing
Walking around in your bunny shoes
And my pajama tops you see that stay home feeling.

I can't leave you in the night
'Cause you're afraid to be alone
And beg these tears to dry
I could never leave you crying
There must be another way to say goodbye.

Every time I try to pack I double up inside
Just like the cloths I'm folding
Every empty hanger I put back
Feels like a cement block my hands are holding.

Honey, if it's all the same to you
I'd love to stay right here at least till you walk by
Find an easier way of leaving
There must be another way to say goodbye.

There must be another way to say goodbye, make the break
There must be a bypass round the hurting traffic jam to take
There must be another way to part
And come unglued each time we start to try
There must be another way to say goodbye.

There must be another way to say goodbye
