I was singing this song
It's time it was sung
I've been putting it off for a while
But it's harder right now
'cause the truth isn't clear
And I will cry when I see Henry smile

So goodbye, so long, the road calls me, dear
And your tears cannot find me anymore
And farewell to the girl with
The sun in her eyes
I'm gonna kiss you, and then I'll be gone

And every time that I tried
To tell you that we'd
Lost the magic we had at the start
I would weep, my heart
When I looked in your eyes
And I searched once again for the spark

So goodbye, so long, the road calls me, dear
And your tears cannot find me anymore
And farewell to the girl with
The sun in her eyes
I'm gonna kiss you, and then I'll be gone

I can see by your eyes, it's time now to go
So I'll leave you to cry in the rain
Though I held in my hand the key to all joy
My heart wasn't born to be tamed

So goodbye, so long, the road calls me, dear
And your tears cannot find me anymore
And farewell to the girl with
The sun in her eyes
Then I'll kiss you, and then I'll be gone
