Track 4 of 12 on the album "By Request" (1966) [Intro] E7 A [Verse 1]
       A              A7          D                 B7
We had promised to be wed when we said goodbye that night

          E7                                   A   E7
While the moon and stars were shining from the sky

        A                   A7          D                B7
For our hearts were full of joy and the future looked so bright

        E7                                       A
I never thought that we were saying our last goodbye
[Verse 2]
      A            A7      D             B7
I was only leaving you for just a little while

          E7                              A  E7
To find a home where we'd be happy by and by

         A                A7            D                   B7
Then you kissed me with a smile and you said you'd wait for me

        E7                                       A
I never thought that we were saying our last goodbye
[Verse 3]
       A              A7          D              B7
It was only one short year 'til I found a little place

            E7                             A    E7
And started back to you to hear your happy sigh

      A             A7     D               B7
I was thinking only of the smile upon your face

        E7                                    A
I never thought that we had said our last goodbye
[Steel Guitar Solo] A A7 D B7 E7 A [Verse 4]
        A              A7          D                 B7
Oh, the story that was told when I knocked upon your door

         E7                              A   E7
Broke my heart in two and how it made me cry

         A               A7              D          B7
For they told me you had gone and didn't love me anymore

       E7                                 A
Then I knew that we had said our last goodbye
[Verse 5]
       A           A7            D                 B7
No one ever can be told what the hand of fate will deal

       E7                                A   E7
And we do not know the pine that we will die

         A           A7             D              B7
So don't ever be too sure that your love is always real

             E7                               A
You'll never know the sadness of our last goodbye
