Goodbye Katherine Goodbye

I read the note that you left me
It shook me up deep down inside
But I can't say it was unexpected
You wrote the book on saying goodbye

You smelled so good that morning
When you touched my cheek and said goodbye
And though you tried to reassure me
I think I knew deep down inside
That this was goodbye

Goodbye Katherine Goodbye
This was Goodbye
Goodbye Katherine Goodbye

You left plenty here to remind me
Of the good times that we shared
Like the scarf you made my mother
At Christmas time last year

The neighbor said she saw you leaving
She said you left in tears
She came right over to comfort me
And we had a couple of beers
And said goodbye

Goodbye Katherine Goodbye
We sang Goodbye
Goodbye Katherine Goodbye

The golden rule was don't date musicians
And that was a rule you would not break
But baby we belonged together
Call it destiny or fate
Don't say goodbye

Goodbye Katherine Goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Goodbye Katherine Goodbye

Now baby I sure do miss you
And it hurts so bad deep down inside
Now I'm sitting here in the darkness
Learning the "rules for saying goodbye"

Goodbye Katherine Goodbye
