Lyrics

Long Slow Goodbye
(written by: Ruben Estevez)


He kisses her cheek and wheels her out every afternoon
Puts his hand on her face and tells her she's going to be home soon
He smiles and then he turns to hide the tears in his eyes
'Cause it's been a long time coming
And a long slow goodbye

A beautiful night old Havana 1949
He got down on one knee and asked her if she would be his wife
And they built a life together in the best of times
But now all the memories have faded
Into this long, slow goodbye

Seasons come and go as the years slip away
He wants her to let go but he wants her to stay

He fixes her hair, kneels down to tie her shoes
She still wonders who it is, who' s this man she gave her heart to
But she sees something familiar in his eyes and she cries
'Cause somehow she knows he'll be with her to the end
Of this long, slow goodbye

Seasons come and go as the years slip away
He wants her to let go but he wants her to stay
