The Song Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Say farewell as you touch the sky
Is it me who only knows the reason why?
Here is the song, though you pass me by
Say farewell, and I close my eyes

[Verse 2]
There you were, leaving me today
Doesn't leave, the Lord works in the strangest ways
Here is the night, well, it seems so long
Say farewell as I sing the song

[Verse 3]
Here I am, waiting here to stay
Can't believe you'll be so many miles away
So full of tears, could I be so wrong?
Say farewell and I'll sing the song

[Instrumental Bridge 1]

[Instrumental Bridge 2]

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
