[B] [C] [Am] [Dm]
[G] [C]
We'd just finished our dinner and I'd gone in the [Am] den and [E] turned on the [F] TV when she walked
in and kissed me on the cheek like a million [C] times before.
And she said, [Am] honey, I know it's late, but if you don't mind, [D] my shopping's gotten a little [Dm] behind.
So I think I'll [D] drive downtown [Ab] to the grocery [C] store.
Well, I didn't look up, just nodded OK and asked [E] her to hand me an ice tray.
[F] And when she did, I reached over and squeezed her hand [C] and then she left.
[Am] And I shuddered a minute [Dm] at the thought of my world without [G] her in it.
And I [C] reassuringly sought the touch of my wedding band.
[Am] [Bm] [C] Well, I must have been dozing because I didn't hear the door.
And I thought, now that's strange.
I'd never done that before.
[F] But I looked up and she was standing by my chair, kind of [C] snuck in on me, I said.
And she smiled and [Am] nodded her head.
And I told [Dm] her that she looked just like an angel standing [G] there.
For a long moment, she [C] didn't say a thing.
And then she caressed her gold wedding ring.
And I [F] thought I saw a teardrop in her eye.
Honey, you'll never know [Dm] how much I love [Am] you, she said.
And I thought of the many [Dm] years that we'd been wed [G] as I told her [C] that no one could be as happy as I.
And then the [D] strangest [C] feeling filled the room, not one of happiness, but one of gloom.
[Gm] And for the first time in my [F] life, I saw sadness in her face.
I reached out to touch her and she drew away.
[C] And she told me again [G] that [Am] ours was a love that time could never [Dm] erase.
And then I thought I [G] heard a thousand voices [Am] singing.
[G] [C] But I realized it was the telephone ringing.
And that's when I saw the halo [Am] surround her [F] pretty golden hair.
I turned trembling to the receiver and heard a [C] cold voice say that there'd been a wreck [Am] out on the highway.
[D] And I knew [Gm] that when I looked back, [C] she wouldn't be there because [E] it was an angel's way of saying our last goodbye.
