Goodbye Holly
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.
She came into my life
On the wings of a lavender eagle
When I saw her I said "you're the seagull"
And she said "you're right"
And now she's gone away
Yes I know in my mind I'll remember
All the love any time I will send her
Till she's gone alight
Holly says to say goodbye to you
She'll remember ------- funny
Before her too
(Holly says to say goodbye - goodbye)
Holly says that I first say that
I first thought that she said goodbye
So: Goodbye dear Holly
I'm truly sorry
You know no one could love you more than I
When Holly came around
All the strain ----- ------beside her
And her beauty was ever denied her
For beauty was she
She came upon my eyes
Like the sky in the middle of dawning
And she conquered the night with the morning
That we might all see
Holly says to say goodbye to you
She'll remember ------- funny
Before her too
(Holly says to say goodbye - goodbye)
Holly says that I first say that
I first thought that she said goodbye
So: Goodbye dear Holly
I'm truly sorry
You know no one could love you more than I
Holly says to say goodbye to you
She'll remember ------- funny
Before her too
(Holly says to say goodbye - goodbye)
Holly says to say goodbye to you
She'll remember ------- funny
Before her too
(Holly says to say goodbye - goodbye)
