[Intro] [Verse 1] Well the taxicab is waiting And you’ve made up your mind Pick up that old red suitcase And Lord I start to die [Chorus] Well I wish I could say something But there ain’t no word that’s right What’s so fair about farewell What’s so good about goodbye [Bridge] So long somehow sounds so long I’ll never live it through See you around ain’t what I mean though It’ll kill me if I do [Chorus] Well there’s just no way to say it So I guess I won’t even try What’s so fair about farewell What’s so good about goodbye [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] So I search my mind just once more But there ain’t no word that’s right What’s so fair about farewell What’s so good about goodbye [Bridge] So long somehow sounds so long I’ll never live it through See you around ain’t what I mean though It’ll kill me if I do [Chorus] Well there’s just no way to say it 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
