Farewell

Fare thee well, my brother

Please don't stand in my way

I'm goin' down to that dirty town

No matter what you say

You fooled me and you ruled me

And ya played an angry part

I gotta go

It's no use me stayin' home

Goodbye, my sister

Please don't let me see ya cry

Gonna be a star some day

No matter what they say

And when ya hear the crowds

All callin' and shoutin' 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 ya 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 though 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 gotta go now

It's now use me stayin' home

And 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 though you're tryin' to hold me back

And I love you

And I miss ya

If you don't get no mail

You know I'm in jail

If you don't get no mail

You know I'm in jail

But I love you

And I miss ya

I love you
