Farewell My Love Lyrics

Farewell My Love

Sorry, I cannot stay
I leave my love right here with you
But I must go away

You said that it was you I saw
With another in my place

But the memory's burning in my mind
Never to be erased

So I hear no more of your lies baby
Because I saw ya, I saw ya
I saw ya face to face
And there's nothing wrong with my eyes baby
I can see I've been replaced

So farewell, my love

Woo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I must not stay)
Sorry, I cannot stay (I leave my love)
I leave my love right here with you (I must go away)

There'll be no blue skies for me
Everything will turn right to gray

And the love we shared since the be-
With the coming light of day
(Ah, ah, ah, Ah, ah ah ah) No, No
(Ah, ah, ah, Ah, ah ah ah) The memories, oh, the good and the pain
(Ah, ah, ah, Ah, ah ah ah) With the rain
(Ah, ah, ah, Ah) Disappear

So farewell, my love

Woo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I must not stay)
Sorry, I cannot stay (I leave my love)
I leave my love right here with you (I must go away)
But I must go away
So I hear no more of your lies baby
Because I saw ya, I saw ya
I saw ya face to face
And there's nothing wrong with my eyes baby
I can see I've been replaced

So farewell, my love

(Goodbye my love) Sorry I cannot stay
(Goodbye my love) I leave my love right here with you
(I must not stay) and you and you
(I leave my love)
(I must go away) Sorry I must go away
(Farewell my love)
Goodbye, my love
