Gary Allan - It Took Us All Night Long To Say Goodbye

(Bob McDill/Wayland Holyfield)

It only took a minute for us to finally end it
I guess we`d seen it comin` for some time
And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over
But it took us all night long to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had we`ll never have again
But there`s one ember left that must have never died
`Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken
And holdin` on would be a waste of time
But sometimes I know I`ll wonder if it was really over
`Cause it took us all night to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had we`ll never have again
But there`s one ember left that must have never died
`Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

There`s one ember left that must have never died
`Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
