Lyrics

Sweet as Your Goodbye
©2002. Eddie Ray Raynor/Erica Molz

You gently touched my face
Then took my hand
With a tenderness I'd forgotten you could show
And like a lover would
You whispered softly
But you told me things I didn't want to know


All those nights I waited knowing you had more to give
Always hoping that you'd show it; never dreamed it'd be like this

You couldn't talk to me until you said it's over
And never stopped to listen til I started to cry
I even wondered if you cared until this moment
If only love had been as sweet as your goodbye

From love to loneliness
I wondered why
The more I tried the farther you pushed me away
And so the distance grew
Until tonight
You drew me close just to say you couldn't stay


Don't know why you'd bother giving me the best of you
Only long enough to show me everything I had to lose

(Repeat chorus)

The man I fell in love with
Was a lot like you are now
But we became strangers somehow

(Repeat chorus)
