Farewell Love

by Elizabeth Van Cleve

I began to think it over
What should I say?
You know, I wouldn't want to start something
'specially when it's time to read "The End"

Farewell Love
farewell my love
you know, I don't like the word good-by

My life was made of sad songs
And yet, I kept looking for happy endings
I have this feeling that this is my last song
'Cause I've stopped looking any more
I found my happy ending, with you

Please don't blame me
'Cause I'd never blame you
Please don't blame anyone
Especially you

Maybe it's crazy, but I want it a certain way
I want to be remembered when I'm gone
and not forgotten when I'm here
There's a difference, you know

I know there's probably questions
questions like "Why did she..."
or "why me?"

Look at it this way, Heaven could be nothing

nothing but happy endings
nothing but happy songs
maybe nothing better, than springtime spent with you

Could you do me a favor?
One last favor
When this springtime comes
if it's possible Dear,
blow me a kiss

I wanted so much to see spring with you
the only season where things begin to grow

a view of future possibilities
that I never had the chance to see with you

We'd seen
sandy beaches in summer
colored leaves in autumn
snowmen in winter

Know that all I ever really wanted to see
was you
and me
together in the spring

Farewell Love
Farewell
