Farewell Is A Lonely Sound |
Farewell is a lonely sound |
When told to someone you love |
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why |
You must leave the one that you love |
Saying goodbye to someone you love |
Is so hard for any man |
You say it’s just for a while, then you force a smile |
And you hope she’ll understand |
Then a tear appears in her eyes |
As she tightly holds your hand |
Then you let her know that it’s time to go |
You must leave while you can |
Oh but, farewell is a lonely sound |
When told to someone you love |
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why |
You must leave the one that you love |
(Farewell farewell my love, farewell farewell my love) |
I’m leaving darling, but I’ll be, back one day |
Ooh every silent step you take |
Each one hurts your heart |
As you board the train, you feel the pain |
That starts as you depart, yeah |
You wipe your eyes so she can’t see |
Cos a man should never cry |
Now there’s just a trace of her crying face |
As you wave to her goodbye, that’s why |
Farewell is a lonely sound |
When told to someone you love |
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why |
You must leave the one that you love |
I don’t wanna leave you baby, I don’t wanna say goodbye no, no |
Oooh cos it hurts inside, and you wonder why |
You must leave the one that you love |
Baby baby, farewell is a lonely sound |
When told to someone you love |
You know you hurt inside as you wonder why |
