tom paxton lyric::And then i learned that it was you, and 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.
There was no time to say goodbye, a lamp goes out, 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.
There are pictures in a box, in a room, in a house long miles from here, there are old seashells and rocks, faded labels from our days of german beer.
There was no time to say goodbye, i was delayed in getting home.
There was a missed connecting flight, and when i got here, you were gone.
Someone handed me some coffee, a tiny sandwich made of rye.
There are pictures in a box, in a room, in a house long miles from here, there are old seashells and rocks, faded labels from our days of german beer.
There was no time to say goodbye, no time to thank you for the years, there was no time to say goodbye, a lamp goes out, light disappears.
