Farewell

Fare thee well my brother

Please don't stand in my way

I'm going down to that dirty town

No matter what you say

You fooled me and you ruled me

And you played in every part

I gotta go, it's no use me stayin' home

Goodbye my sister

Please don't let me see you cry

Gonna be a star some day

No matter what they say

And when you hear the crowds

All callin' and shouting out my name

Until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied

So long sweet melinda

Don't forget that you're my girl

Gonna dress you fine

And if you give me time

Make you proud like I said I would

And if the champs elysee's no fallacy

If I find the world looks like it should

Candy cars, movie stars, street bars

Then I could stay a while

Well I love you

Shall I write or phone from paris or rome

And I'll miss you all

Even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back

Farewell all my family

Don't you know I mean you so well

Please appreciate I must make a break

Just to see what I can do

The stage is set so understand

I can't hide in the wings no more

I've got to go now it's no use me staying home

All I can say is I love you

Shall I write or phone from paris or rome

And I think I'm always gonna miss you

And I love you always

I think I'm always gonna miss ya

Even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back

And I love you and I miss you

If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail

But I love you and I miss you
