Well the taxicab is waiting And you've made up your mind Pick up that old red suitcase And Lord I start to die Well I wish I could say something But there ain't no road that's right What's so fair about farewell What's so good about goodbye 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 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 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 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 And 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 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
