So Long
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.
It's been so long, so very long
I wonder what did I do wrong
I've been so sad and blue
Since you said "Baby, we're all through."
If you leave me in this mood
I fear I'm bound to come unglued
Oh, to hold you in my arms again
I'll be so lonely untill then.
Well. maybe I've been a bad boy baby
Yes. and I've told my share of lies
But baby please forgive me
'Cause it's so hard to realise.
You may be gone, never to return
Oh, what a bitter lesson to learn
There's only one thing left to do
Baby, say so long to you.
Baby, say so long to you
So long...
