Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Goodbye
No use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
[Verse 2]
Goodbye
Let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
[Verse 3]
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss
But more than this, I wish you love
[Verse 4]
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth, I wish you love
[Verse 5]
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
[Verse 6]
I wish you shelter, oh, from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
[Verse 7]
Most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
Written by: Albert A. Beach, Charles Trenet
