Lyrics

?Tell You Goodbye?
©2002 Clifford J. Piel

The phone rings
and it changes everything
in a life
Johnny?s gone
A brother and a loving son
They?re still asking why

I don?t want to tell you
I don?t want to tell you
I don?t want to tell you goodbye

He turns around
And receives the papers from the clown
and wonders why
He rushes home
To find that she has packed and gone
Shakes his fists at the sky

Don?t ever think that you?re the only one
God?s love and grace will help you carry on

The mother sleeps
As her children give a speech
about her life
The youngest one
Was holding back his tears so long
He stands up and screams

Chorus
