The Last Word
Jimmy MacCarthy
Goodbye is such a big word
That's why it's the last word
I'll come and pick my things up
We can, take the last cup
I'm going to miss your kisses
I'm going to miss your warm touch
Bridge
But know where I am
That's where you'll be and there you'll stay
Safe in my heart
In that warm spot behind these old walls
Where few ever climb to dwell in that place
Where you have long called the echo remains
The ghost of your face
And it's goodbye it's such a big word
That's why it's the last word
Hope your new plans work out
Funny us being burnt out
And take it as you like it
Just could not take your sidekick
Bridge 2
You gave me much more than I can say
In this goodbye you sure made me bend
Beyond the vale reach ran spell for my eyes
You helped me to die and rise up again
You painted my face with a new light
Now lost in surprise...
Repeat Bridge 1
And it's goodbye is such a big word
That's why it's the last word
