"You Only Called Me Once to Say Goodbye"

I heard something wrong
In your voice on the telephone
The moment that you softly said my name.
Nothin' like our first few calls
You'd say "hello" and I'd start to fall
in love. You called me twenty times a day. But

YOU ONLY CALLED ME ONCE TO SAY GOODBYE
Endless nights you'd kiss me softly
till the morning light would shine
you must have said a thousand times, you'd love me till you died.
but YOU ONLY CALLED ME ONCE TO SAY GOODBYE

Roses on our wedding bed,
like velvet so intensely red.
Your white gown looked so beautiful that day.
But seasons come and seasons go
Summer's heat gave way to snow
and like leaves in Autumn's wind you blew away.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Bye bye love; once just ain't enough
'cause it keeps me hangin' on the line
and leaves me wondering why

YOU ONLY CALLED ME ONCE TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU ONLY CALLED ME ONCE TO SAY GOODBYE
