Allan Gary It Would Be You 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
