Jimmy Ruffin Farewell Is A Lonely Sound
(Farewell farewell my love, farewell farewell my love)
Farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love
Saying goodbye to someone you love
Is so hard for any man
You say it's just for a while, then you force a smile
And you hope she'll understand
Then a tear appears in her eyes
As she tightly holds your hand
Then you let her know that it's time to go
You must leave while you can
Oh but, farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love
(Farewell farewell my love, farewell farewell my love)
I'm leaving darling, but I'll be, back one day
Ooh every silent step you take
Each one hurts your heart
As you board the train, you feel the pain
That starts as you depart, yeah
You wipe your eyes so she can't see
Cos a man should never cry
Now there's just a trace of her crying face
As you wave to her goodbye, that's why
Farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love
I don't wanna leave you baby, I don't wanna say goodbye
no, no
Oooh cos it hurts inside, and you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love
Baby baby, farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know you hurt inside as you wonder why (fade)
