Lyrics
Goodbye Joe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were lost in the fair on the highland, good bye, Joe,
with the sky and the deer on the highland, good bye, Joe.
Time is full of changes and now you've got to go.
Don't forget that we loved on the highland, good bye, Joe.
Good bye, Joe, yes, I understand, I'm trying not to cry
but if I do, it's only cause I'll miss you, one more time, let me kiss you.
I remember when you came calling, good bye, Joe,
like a sunrise that rose without warning, good bye, Joe.
Time is full of changes and now you've got to go.
And we walked on a Manhattan morning, good bye Joe.
Good bye, Joe, yes, I understand, I'm trying not to cry
but if I do, it's only cause I'll miss you, one more time, let me kiss you.
Good bye, Joe, good bye, Joe, time is full of changes, Joe, and now you've got to go.
Don't forget that we loved on the highland, good bye, Joe, goodbye, Joe…
