To Bid Farewell
Away we go again, too early in the morning,
Just one more thought, or three, before I say goodbye,
Insurance policies are in the second drawer, love,
Now listen close to one last…
Sad sigh for the words I never would say,
If I were to bid farewell, my love, today,
A glad sigh for the promise of a new day,
If I were to bid farewell and fly away.
I’ve sung a thousand songs, give or take four hundred,
Tried to ride the clouds; I know you came along,
I feel some turbulence now,
And if this were farewell, friend, would you hear one final…
Sad song for the songs I never would sing,
If I were to bid farewell, my friend, today,
A glad song as the bells beyond the night ring.
And though I walked beneath the moon, the sun was in my eyes,
So this is not a sorry tune, but Heaven help me.
A sad sigh…for the words I never would say,
If I were to bid farewell the world today,
A glad sigh for the promise of a new day,
If I were to bid farewell and fly away,
A sad song for the songs I never could sing,
If I were to bid farewell to you today,
A glad song as the bells beyond the night ring,
If I were to bid farewell and fade away,
If I were to bid farewell and fade away,
If I were to bid farewell and fade away.
Just one more thought, or three, before I say goodbye,
Insurance policies are in the second drawer, love,
Now listen close to one last…
Sad sigh for the words I never would say,
If I were to bid farewell, my love, today,
A glad sigh for the promise of a new day,
If I were to bid farewell and fly away.
I’ve sung a thousand songs, give or take four hundred,
Tried to ride the clouds; I know you came along,
I feel some turbulence now,
And if this were farewell, friend, would you hear one final…
Sad song for the songs I never would sing,
If I were to bid farewell, my friend, today,
A glad song as the bells beyond the night ring.
And though I walked beneath the moon, the sun was in my eyes,
So this is not a sorry tune, but Heaven help me.
A sad sigh…for the words I never would say,
If I were to bid farewell the world today,
A glad sigh for the promise of a new day,
If I were to bid farewell and fly away,
A sad song for the songs I never could sing,
If I were to bid farewell to you today,
A glad song as the bells beyond the night ring,
If I were to bid farewell and fade away,
If I were to bid farewell and fade away,
If I were to bid farewell and fade away.
