I was born in Paradise, so many years ago
To a warm, blue collar family, who raised and loved me so
First time I played music, my soul lit open wide
Not once have I looked back, from that gift I found inside
From bedroom walls to concert halls
I’m right where I belong
And I wouldn’t trade those lonely nights
That gave me one last song
Farewell… I think it’s time I go
Farewell… my friend, I love you so
I’ll see you in my dreams, so please leave on the light
Farewell my love… goodnight…
From smokey bars to studios, old stories of the road
I sang my songs to everyone, who could hear my heart explode
Those times I wore my pen out, on an empty hungry page
Drinking lonesome words, from a thirsty sold out stage
So here’s to all the memories
I left out in the rain
I lift up every melody
That saved me from my pain
Farewell… I think it’s time to go
Farewell… my friends, I love you so
Please keep me in your dreams, and I’ll leave on the light
Farewell my love… goodnight…farewell…
And when my ashes scatter down, like kisses on the ground
May my love live thru my music, for I’ll be heaven bound
Farewell…
Farewell… I think it’s time to go
Farewell… my friend, I love you so
Forever in my dreams, so baby don’t you cry
Farewell my love… goodbye
Forever in my dreams, so baby don’t you cry
Farewell my love… goodbye
Farewell my love… goodbye
Farewell my love… goodbye…
