[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
She reaches out across the table
Looks at me, and quietly says goodbye

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
She reaches out across the table
Looks at me, and quietly says goodbye
Goodbye
Said so easily
Goodbye
Said so quietly
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
She reaches out across the table
Looks at me, and quietly says goodbye
Goodbye
Said so easily
Goodbye
Said so quietly
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Outro]
She reaches out across the table
Looks at me, and quietly says goodbye
