Well, I'm singing this song.
It's time it was sung.
I've been putting it off for a while,
but it's harder by now, 'cause the truth is so clear
that I cry when I'm seeing you smile.
So goodbye, so long. The road calls me, dear,
and your tears cannot bind me anymore.
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes.
Can I kiss you and then I'll be gone?
Every time that I try to tell you that we've lost the magic we had at the start,
I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes and I searched once again for the spark.
So goodbye, so long. The road calls me, dear,
and your tears cannot bind me anymore.
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes.
Can I kiss you and then I'll be gone?
I can see by your eyes that it's time now to go.
I'll leave you to cry in the rain.
And though I held in my hand the key to all joy,
honey, my heart can never be tamed.
So goodbye, so long. The road calls me, dear,
and your tears cannot bind me anymore.
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes.
Can I kiss you and then I'll be gone?
