Written after Sept 11th, my goal was to write a top 40 hit, with a perfectly constructed love song. Every trick in the book has been used here.

Farewell to love
The words I told the morning
Farewell to love
That brought each new day dawning
Now the days grow long
And every cloud is gray
The winter’s growing cold
Each passing day
As well my breaking heart
I’ll say farewell to love
It echoes for the world to hear
Yes I’ll remember you my dear
And times when we were young
And when the winter’s gone
And all young lover’s meet the spring
My song remains the same
The song I sing
My farewell to love.
Through silent tears
A cloudy vision came to me
There I could see
The perfect pair
We came to be
Now my world has changed
You haunt my every dream
I think of you each hour
Of every day
But thoughts can’t make you mine
I ‘ll say farewell to love
It echoes for the world to hear
Yes I’ll remember you my dear
And times when we were young
And when the winter’s gone
And all young lover’s meet the spring
My song remains the same
The song I sing
My farewell to love.
What’s to say when
Its over and done
At least there’s still goodbye
And I’ll tell myself
I’m over you
And sing, I will sing
I ‘ll say farewell to love
It echoes for the world to hear
Yes I’ll remember you my dear
And times when we were young
And when the winter’s gone
And all young lover’s meet the spring
My song remains the same
The song I sing
My farewell to love.
