When she picked up the telephone,
|
His voice came on the line.
|
She said: "This can't be happening,"
|
An' tears fell from her eyes.
|
She said: "What am I supposed to do?
|
"I can't handle losin' you."
|
He said: "I just had to call to say goodbye,
|
"One last time."
|
|
He said: "There are some things in this life,
|
"That are out of our control.
|
"Like who we fall in love with,
|
And when it's time to go."
|
she said: "What about the plans we had?"
|
He said: "This connection's gettin' bad."
|
"Now c'mon baby, let me hear you smile,
|
One last time."
|
|
She started to apologize,
|
For all the things that she'd done wrong.
|
She said: "I would have loved you better.
|
If only I'd known."
|
He said: "You were the perfect wife:
|
Promise me you'll go on with your life."
|
She said: "The boys won't understand."
|
He said: "Tell 'em Daddy loves 'em and, be strong."
|
|
He said: "Hon, I've gotta go."
|
She said: "Don't you dare hang up.
|
There's so many things I need to say.
|
I love you so much."
|
It was almost like she felt him leave.
|
She cried out: "Can you still hear me?"
|
She fell down on the kitchen floor,
|
When the signal died,
|
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive.
|
One last..
