Lyric Farewell

(R. Stewart / M. Quittenton)

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 in every part
I gotta go, it s no use me stayin home

Goodbye my sister
please don t let me see you cry
Gonna be a star some day
no matter what they say
And when you hear the crowds
all callin and shouting 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 you 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 tho 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 got to go now it s no use me staying home

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 tho you re tryin to hold me back

And I love you and I miss you
If you don t get no mail you know I m in jail
But I love you and I miss you
