~ One Last Time ~

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 . . . .
