We just finished our dinner and
I'd gone in the den and turned on the TV
When she walked in and kissed me
On the cheek like a million times before

And she said, "Honey, I know it's late
But if you don't mind, my shopping's
Gotten a little behind
So I think I'll drive downtown to the grocery store"

Well, I didn't look up, just nodded okay
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 reassuringly sought the touch
Of my wedding band

Well, I musta been dozing 'cause 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

And then she caressed her gold wedding ring

And I thought I saw a tear drop 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 be 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 receiver 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 angel's way of saying our last goodbye

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