There is no great big ending, no sunset in the sky
There is no string ensemble, and she doesn't even cry
And just as I begin to say that we should make another try
She reaches out across the table looks at me
And quietly says good-bye
There is no big explosion, no tempest in the tea
The world does not stop turning round
There's no big tragedy

Sitting in a coffee shop
With cheesecake and some apple pie
She reaches out across the table looks
At me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye, said so easily, good-bye, said so quietly
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, just two
Always strangers avoid each other's eyes
One still make believing, one still telling lies
She tells me that I'm not to blame

But when I ask the reason why
She reaches out across the table looks
At me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye, said so easily. Good-bye, said so quietly
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
She reaches out across the table looks
At me and quietly says good-bye
