The Long Goodbye (Jack Sheldon, vocal) There's a long goodbye And it happens every day... When some passer-by Invites your eye To come her way Even as she smiles a quick hello You let her go, you let the moment fly Too late you turn your head You know you said The long goodbye Can you recognise the theme? On some other street Two people meet As in a dream Running for a plane through the rain It's the heart that's quicker than the eye They could be lovers Until they die It's too late to try When a missed hello Becomes a long... A long goodbye Can you recognise the theme? On some other street Two people meet As in a dream Running for a plane through the rain It's the heart that quicker than the eye They could be lovers Until they die It's too late to try When a missed hello Becomes a long... Goodbye
