lyrics: by Brian Richy -
Been a fool, been a clown
Lost my way from up and down
And I know, yes I know
That you really weren't surprised at me at all
Not at all
And I know by your smile it's you
Don't care for me, don't cry
Let's say good-bye, Adieu.
It's time to say good-bye, I know that in time
It will just fade away, It's time to say good-bye
I stand alone and watch you fade away like clouds
High up and in the sky
I'm strong and so cold
As I stand alone
Good-bye, so long, adieu
Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories
And now you've gone
I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, adieu
My love for you burns deep
inside me, so strong
embers of times we had
and now, here I stand lost in a memory
I see your face and smile
[extended piano break]
Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories
And now you've gone
I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, adieu
My love for you burns deep
inside me, so strong
embers of times we had
and now, here I stand lost in a memory
I see your face and smile
