Just now I said goodbye to you
the same as every morning.
But who knows when your karma's through?
It happens without warning.
You never know when a sleepy peck is just a see-you-later.
At any step in the daily trek
you can go to meet your maker.
So then I’d wish that I’d said more
and paid you more attention.
Why I let you out the door
is beyond my comprehension.
And don’t you miss a chance to say
I love you. Do not wait.
That’s what they always seem to say after it’s too late.
Chorus:
Every time we say good-bye,
if I thought it was the last, then I
would never let you out again.
We’d lose our jobs and go insane.
Every time we say good-bye
They say you should live every day
as if it were the last one.
That seems a most effective way
to lose your marbles fast, son
When you’re coming up the drive,
should I run out in slow motion? Yes of course you’re still alive,
So why the morbid notion?
Chorus:
Every time we say good-bye,
if I thought it was the last, then I
would never let you out again.
We’d lose our jobs and go insane.
And don’t you miss a chance to say
I love you. Do not wait.
That’s what they always seem to say after it’s too late.
Chorus:
Every time we say good-bye,
if I thought it was the last, then I
would never let you out again.
We'd lose our jobs and go insane.
