Goodbye to the Band
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.
Tho my plane don't fly till morning,
I'm already far from you.
My mind's already flying
And my heart began its dying
From the time we said hello.
Cause I knew I'd have to leave you
And I moved toward my goodbye
Long ago.
I can watch you
I can hold you,
And you smile the way I know.
It's like something I remember,
Something good that happened for me
On a half forgotten summer
Long ago.
