When she picked up the telephone,
His voice came on the line.
She said: «This can’t be happening,»
An’ tears fell from her eyes.
She said: «What am I supposed to do?
«I can’t handle losin’ you.»
He said: «I just had to call to say goodbye,
«One last time.»
He said: «There are some things in this life,
«That are out of our control.
«Like who we fall in love with,
And when it’s time to go.»
An’ she said: «What about the plans we had?»
He said: «This connection’s gettin’ bad.»
«Now c’mon baby, let me hear you smile,
One last time.»
She started to apologise,
For all the things that she’d done wrong.
She said: «I would have loved you better.
If only I’d known.»
He said: «You were the perfect wife:
Promise me you’ll go on with your life.»
She said: «The boys won’t understand.»
He said: «Tell ’em Daddy loves ’em and, be strong, whoa.»
He said: «Honey, I’ve gotta go.»
She said: «Don’t you dare hang up.
There’s so many things I need to say.
I love you so much.»
It was almost like she felt him leave.
She cried out: «Can you still hear me?»
She fell down on the kitchen floor,
When the signal died,
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive.
One last..
