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 at every part

I gotta go

It's no use me staying home

Goodbye my sister

Please don't let me see you cry

I'm gonna be a star someday

No matter what they say

And when you hear the crowds all calling

And shouting out my name

Till 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-Élysées don't fail to see

And if the world looks like it should

Cable cars, movie stars, pretty bars

Then I could stay awhile

Well, I love you

Should I write or phone

From Paris or Rome

And I miss you all

Even though you try to hold me back

Fare thee well all my family

Don't you know I mean 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 gotta go now

It's no use me staying home

All I can say

'Cause I love you

Should I write or phone

From Paris or Rome

And I think I'm always gonna miss you

Well, I love you for once

I think I'm always gonna miss you

Even though you try to hold me back

And I love ya

Oh, I miss ya

If you don't get no letters

You know I'm in jail

If you don't get no letters

Then you know I'm in jail

And I love ya

Oh, I miss ya

I love you, yeah
