Farewell Song

[Verse]

Whoa, the last time that I saw you

Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word

And I knew, darling as I looked into your eyes

That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard

Well, I'm talking to you about love

Did you hear me, I said love

Because it's got to be such a long, long, way

From denying, from denying

And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more

And I believed in you all the time

Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong

Won't you try and build a life with you

Guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along

Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more

Babe, I ask you just once more

Because it's got to be such a long, long way from crying

And I been crying and I got tears in my eyes

Yeah, but don't you know when you love somebody that's so precious

They can never, never, never be had very cheaply

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

You're going to have to pay your dues

And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose

Hey, but that's the way

You're going to learn, learn, learn to love deeply

Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself

Because I know that it's my fault, too

It's so easy to hurt you, darling

It's so hard, it's hard not to do

And I know that you showed me a new life

And you'll always, you'll always be my friend

Yeah, but I don't think, honey, that I can keep from trying

And I'll be trying and I been crying for you, baby

Yes, I have now

Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

What would I do without you, child?

I'm afraid that I can't say

But I hope, honey, that when you will remember

Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day

Now, now, now, now, good-bye

I'll see you sometime

And don't be worried, everything's just fine

Babe, I don't think

That I can keep from dying

And I've been dying

I say now every day I die a little bit, babe

I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart

I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby

I said now I can't help myself

I can't help myself

[Outro]

I got to find him, got to, I got to need him

Because I got to find my man, find my baby

Because I got to, got to, got to, got to

Got to, got to, got to, got to, yeah, got to

Got to, got to, got to, oh my Lord I got to

Help me now, now, now, now

Help me, babe, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whoa, Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!

Whoa, Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!

Whoa, Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
