Let's Say Goodbye (Like We Said Hello)

from Durango by The Coal Porters

lyrics

I got my daughter, I got my gun
You got a nerve, you’ve had your fun
Placing your bets, taking your time
What once was ours is now just mine
You got another, you gotta leave
I my got heart broke, I gotta grieve
I’m moving out, you’re moving on
They’re saving my place out at Forest Lawn

Let’s say goodbye like we said hello
With sweet smiles and laughter as if we don’t know
Your Somebodys waiting and now you must go
Let’s say goodbye like we said hello

She says it’s “mee-know”, I say it’s “my-know”
She says “we’re fee-no”, I say “that’s fine-oh”
I’m playing the game tho’ I’m long in the tooth
I feel like a beer ‘n’ she’s cravin’ vermouth
So let’s throw a party lasting till dawn
With jugglers on horseback & all kinds of songs
With friends of the bride a-whispering to
The one who spent life in love with you

Let’s say goodbye like we said hello
Why should we try, does anyone know?
We’ll call it a day, like a sun setting low
Let’s say goodbye, like we said hello

(so) hurry up honey, I’ll put down the gun
I’ll redo the lyrics, I’ll put in more fun
You’ll get to laugh n’ you’ll get to smile
And I’ll get to cry like I ain’t for awhile

Let’s say goodbye like we said hello
with sweet smiles and laughter, as if we don‘t know
Your Somebodys waiting and now you must go
Let’s say goodbye like we said hello
