"No Time To Say Goodbye"
It was a phone call on Sunday-
The kind you hear before it rings.
It was a phone call on Sunday,
When you can hear an angel's wings.
When you know before you answer
That it's someone's time to die,
And when I learned that it was you,
as I stood there I could feel you passing by-
There was no time to say goodbye.
There was no time to say goodbye;
No time to thank you for the years of laughter and of tears-
There was no time to say goodbye.
A lamp gone out, your light disappears.
And as I stood there in the darkness,
There were more tears than I could cry,
For you were here so totally,
It seemed impossible that you could ever die-
There was no time to say goodbye.
