Can you hear me softly
as I whisper my love in your ear
Will I be spending another night alone,
or honey will you be here?
I did my best to please you
and to make life sweet for you;
All your cards and your letters, tell me were they really really true? Please tell me were they ever really true? How long did you think that I could wait here,
losing my mind over you
Well I have to go...
make it on my own again
with a love that's straight and true
always wishing it was you..
Now, Merryl you were such a fine sister to me
and I hope that God will rest your soul, in peace eternally.
I'm sorry that you died so young 'cause your death was such a waste;
but the young we are so impetuous, tell me why are we in such haste.
Oh, why are we in such haste?
Why didn't you reach out, you and I... I thought we were so close, girl,
How I would have helped you any time or anyway,
but now you're all past hope, yes, now you're all past hope.
And now have you heard, my words to you, Patricia,
do they sink in to you?
All your cards, and your letters girl,
oh, tell me darling, were they true?
Oh were they ever really really true.
And although we both swore, 'til death do us part
I can see it's over 'tween you and I
I am sorry so sorry, Tricia Caroline
but it's time for us to say goodbye
I am sorry so sorry with all my aching heart
that it's time for us to say goodbye
Didn't want to ever say goodbye.
Didn't want to ever have to say goodbye.
Why oh why,
Goodbye.
