From the recording Goodbye That Never Was
Linda Vee wrote this song about loss. She asks the question, "Who just leaves a girl without saying goodbye?" The song repeats the search for that goodbye that never was.
Lyrics
Girl's heart was ever true but
Loneliness was her forever song
Walking in the moonlit night she howls
Where did things go wrong? She'll never know
But somewhere their hands and heart unlocked and he let go
Who just leaves a girl without a word like he does?
Now I'm left searching for the goodbye that never was
Searching for that goodbye that never was
Whiskey on her breath and tears falling from her eyes
Where and when did things fall apart? I guess she"ll never know
Behind her smile is a heartbreak no one knows
Soothing her pain with shots of Pendleton whiskey
Medicine for the desperate soul
Who just leaves a girl without a word like he does?
Now I'm left searching for the goodbye that never was
Searching for that goodbye that never was
Whiskey on her breath and tears falling from her eyes
Where and when did things fall apart? I guess she"ll never know
Behind her smile is a heartbreak no one knows
Soothing her pain with shots of Pendleton whiskey
Medicine for the desperate soul
