Farewell Song

Whoa, the last time that I saw ya

Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word.

And I knew, darlin' as I looked into your eyes

That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard.

Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,

Did you hear me, I said love,

Because it's got to be such a long, long, way

From denyin', from denyin'.

And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more.

And I believed in you all the time,

Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong.

Won't you try and build a life with you,

Guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more

Babe, I ask you just once more

Because it's got to be such a long, long way from cryin'

And I been cryin' and I got tears in my eyes.

Yeah, but don't you know when you love somebody that's so precious

They can never, never, never be had very cheaply

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You're gonna have to pay your dues

And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose.

Hey, but that's the way

You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply.

Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself,

'Cause I know that it's my fault, too.

It's so easy to hurt you, darling,

It's so hard, it's hard not to do.

And I know that you showed me a new life

And you'll always, you'll always be my friend.

Yeah, but I don't think, honey, that I can keep from tryin'

And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, baby,

Yes, I have now.

Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

What would I do without you, child ?

I'm afraid that I can't say.

But I hope, honey, that when you will remember

Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day.

Now, now, now, now, good-bye,

I'll see you sometime

And don't be worried, everything's just fine.

Babe, I don't think

That I can keep from dyin'

And I've been dyin'.

I say now every day I die a little bit, babe

I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart

I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby

I said now I can't help myself

I can't help myself

I gotta find him, gotta, I gotta need him

'Cause I gotta find my man, find my baby

'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, yeah, gotta

Gotta, gotta, gotta, oh my Lord I gotta

Help me now now now now

Help me, babe, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!

Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!

Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
