It was early in the morning When I looked up and saw the time And when I saw who lay beside me I thought I'd lose my mind Gretchen smiling in the grey light Sleeping softly next to me You looked as though you might be dreaming So I thought I'd let you be I said bye-bye Girl I love you but I just can't stay Can you tell me why, why I got to be a thousand miles away [Chorus:] Goodnight Gretchen, I've got to leave you soon We been lying here since two in the afternoon Goodnight Gretchen, I must be on my way But I'm gonna come back Come back Girl I'm gonna see you again someday I looked into your broken mirror Where I'd never looked before I waited 'til my mind was clearer And slipped on out the door It was early in September When I began to lose my sight But you told me if I made it through December You would put me right And I said bye-bye Arizona winters ain't too cold Can you tell me why, why Can you tell me why I look so old [Chorus] So will you wait for me 'til April Can you find something to do And when you drive back to New Jersey Will you bring me with you? |
