Well the taxi trip is waiting and you've made up your mind Pick up that old red suitcase and Lord I start to die While I wish I could see us something But there ain't no words that's right What's so fair about farewell what's so good about goodbye So long somehow sounds so long I'll never see it through See you around ain't what I mean It'll kill me if I do Well there's just no way to see you So I guess I won't even try What's so fair about farewell what's so good about goodbye So I stand here in the doorway and I watch you walk away There's time enough for one last word but Lord knows what I should say So I search my mind just once more But there aren't no words that's right What's so fair about farewell what's so good about goodbye So long somehow sounds so long I'll never see it through See you around ain't what I mean It'll kill me if I do Well there's just no way to see you So I guess I won't even try What's so fair about farewell what's so good about goodbye What's so fair about farewell what's so good about goodbye
