Goodbye Henry.

[Intro: RAYE]

One, two, three, four

This is a sad song

Though it feels happy

It is not happy at all

In fact, it makes me so, so sad to sing this song

But I will sing it for you anyway

This song is called "Goodbye Henry."

[Verse 1: RAYE]

And I wrote it 'bout a boy

A very lovely boy

And his name isn't even Henry

But I'm just tryna be respectful

We don't talk anymore

He could be next-door, wouldn't even know

In another life we could have made it

But in this one, well, we let go

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]

And I remember last time I seen him

It was a devastating day

At the Railway Tavern, my local

And we had no words to say

So I sipped my gin in silencе

And I kissed the man goodbye

And wе dried each other's tears

And I told him, "Henry

[Chorus: RAYE]

Oh, I wish you only love (Only love)

And happiness (Happiness)"

When I'm swallowing tears

As I'm watching you drive away

Through my window

I don't want you to go

How could I, baby? Oh-oh (I already miss you so)

I do hope you'll try your best (Try)

And you'll drink a little less

Let's pretend, Henry

Maybe one day we could try again

Don't forget me (Don't forget me) or regret me (Or regret me)

I tell him, "Goodbye, Henry"

I told you this was a sad song

[Verse 2: RAYE]

I did try to warn you, in case you relate

In case your sorry heart is also breaking

In case you're driving to work and every bloody left turn you take

Just so happens to be down memory lane

And it's that pain, the aching kind

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]

I had high hopes for me and Henry, I really did

In another life I'd wear his ring and we'd have three beautiful children

And it hurts to never see him

But the world still turns 'round

So I squeezed his lovely hand so tight and I told him

[Chorus: RAYE]

"Oh, I wish you only love (Only love)

And happiness (Happiness)"

When I'm swallowing tears

As I'm watching you drive away

Through my window

I don't want you to go

How could I, baby? Oh-oh (I already miss you so)

I do hope you'll try your best

And you'll drink a little less

And who knows, Henry?

Maybe one day we could try again

Don't forget me (Don't forget me) or regret me (Or regret me)

I tell him, "Goodbye, Henry"

I told you this was a sad song

[Interlude: RAYE]

But it is my pleasure

To say that all the way from Memphis, Tennessee

Put your hands together (Put your hands)

Ladies and gentlemen

For Al Green

[Verse 3: Al Green & RAYE]

Hello, how are you? I hope you're well

It's nice to be on a microphone with a story to tell

I think of all the memories

Some bitter, some sweet

The people I've loved and the people I'll never get to greet

These heartaches don't get easier (Easier)

Pains of losing love (Losing love)

Time will help the healing

And Christ's just up above

Sometimes in life we have to say goodbye

Tears falling from our eyes

I pray it won't hurt like it does tonight

[Chorus: RAYE & Al Green]

As I wish 'em only love

And happiness

I'm swallowing tears

Yeah, I (As I'm watching you drive away)

Through my window (Yeah, yeah)

I don't want you to go

How could I, baby? Oh-oh (Oh)

I do hope you'll try your best

And you'll drink a little less (And who knows, Henry?)

That maybe one day we could try again

Don't forget me (Forget me) or regret me (Regret me, regret me)

Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, lo-lo-lo-lo-love

[Bridge: RAYE, Al Green & Both]

I hope (You're happy now)

Wherever he is (Feeling better now)

He's happy, he's safe

And he's, oh, so over this, though I'm (And I wish 'em love, I said)

Still in love, still in love, still in love with him

Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget (Oh, my, my, my)

Da-dum-da-dum, oh I (I hope) hope

(Wherever he is) Ooh, I do

(He's happy, he's safe) I hope he's happy and safe

(And he's, oh, so over this, though I'm)

(Still in love, still in love, still in love with him) I may be

Still, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, love, love, da-da, baby

[Outro: RAYE]

And I guess sometimes that's just how it goes

Sometimes love sticks around

And sometimes love hits the road

And as I watch Henry drive out of my life

I warned you, dear listener, didn't I?

When I told you before this was a sad, sad, sad song

Drop it here

Hahaha, Brooksy can't see me
