One More Song Before Goodbye

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in carrying two paper bags Dust on your sleeves from the laundromat Set them down by the old armchair Said, “Pick a side, I’ll meet you there” [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicked, the window shook You found a page inside my book No grand plan, no reason why Just one more song before goodbye [Chorus] Put your records on, let the room decide Which little memory gets another life Put your records on, stay a while with me We’ll let the needle find what we forgot to keep [Verse 2] You chose the one with the faded sleeve The one your brother played on Christmas Eve I knew the first notes before they came You laughed and said I’d changed the name [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicked, the window shook You found a page inside my book No grand plan, no reason why Just one more song before goodbye [Chorus] Put your records on, let the room decide Which little memory gets another life Put your records on, stay a while with me We’ll let the needle find what we forgot to keep [Bridge] If the afternoon runs out of gold If every borrowed story’s told Leave your favorite by the chair I’ll play it when you’re not there [Final Chorus] Put your records on, let the room decide Which little memory gets another life Put your records on, stay a while with me We’ll let the needle find what we forgot to keep Put your records on, don’t rush out the door There’s always room for one more song [Outro] One more song before goodbye One more song before goodbye
