"When she picked up the telephone, his voice came on the line
She said, this can't be happening, and tears fell from her eyes
She said, what am I supposed to do,
I can't handle losing you
He said I just had to call and 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
She said, what about the plans we had
He said this connection's getting bad
Now come on baby, let me hear you smile, one last time
She started to apologize for all the things that she'd done wrong
She said I would've 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 them daddy loves them and
Be strong
He said, hon, I 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 time
"
