Till the Next Goodbye - The Rolling Stones
Honey, is there any place that you would like to eat?
I know a coffee shop down on Fifty-Second Street
And I don’t need no fancy food and I don’t need no fancy wine
And I sure don’t need the tears you cry
Till the next time we say goodbye
Till the next time we say goodbye
Till the next time we say goodbye
I’ll be thinking of you
I’ll be thinking of you
