Saying Goodbye (Part 2) Original Broadway Cast of "The Story of My Life"

(THOMAS selects a story.)

[THOMAS]
The next time that we said goodbye
The old town seemed quite and frozen and small
And things there for Al hadn't changed much at all
The next time that we said goodbye

The next time that we said goodbye

(ALVIN is busy working in the bookstore.)

[ALVIN]
Nice to meet you

[THOMAS]

The next time that we said goodbye

She worked for a national weekly

[ALVIN]
Impressive

[THOMAS]

Alvin was stuck selling books while his father got sicker
