Red Sovine Angel's Last Goodbye Lyrics

We just finished our dinner
and I'd gone in the den
and turned on the TV
when she walked in and kissed me.

And she said
"Honey, I know it's late but if you don't minds,
my shopping gotten a little behind
so I think I'll drive downtown to the grocery store."
Well I didn't look up,
just nodded ok and asked her to hand me an ashtray.

And when she did I reached over and squeezed her hand,
and then she left and I shuttered a minute
at the thought of my world without her in it
and I ressuringly sought the touch of my wedding band.

Well I musta been dozing,
cuz I didn't hear the door
and I thought now that's strange,
I've never done that before.

But I looked up and she was standing by my chair, "Kinda snucked in on me" I said,
and she smiled and nodded her head
and I told her that she looked just like an angel standing there.

For a long moment she didn't say a thing
and then she caressed her gold wedding ring
and I thought I saw a teardrop in her eye.

"Honey, you'll never know how much I love you" she said,
and I thought of the many years that we had been wed.

As I Told her that no one could be as happy as I
and then the strangest feeling filled the room.

Not one of happiness but one of gloom and for the first time in my life,
I saw sadness in her face.

I reached out to touch her and she drew away and she told me again,
that ours was a love that time could never erase.

And then I thought I heard a thousand voices singing,
but I realized it was the telephone ringing.

And that's when I saw the halo surround her pretty golden hair.

I turned trembling to the reciever
and heard a cold voice say there had been a wreck out
on the highway and I knew that when I looked back,
she wouldn't be there
because it was an angels way of saying our last goodbye.
