Goodbye, Old Girl
Richard Adler / Jerry Ross
[Joe Boyd]
Goodbye, old girl
My old girl
When you awaken, I'll be gone
Can't tell you where I go
It isn't fair, I know
But trust in me and carry on
Goodbye, old friend
My old friend
There's somethin' I must let you know
I haven't said it much
I guess I've lost my touch
But, my old girl, I love you so
No, I know it hasn't all been rosy
We've had squabblin' days when tears were brought about
But in a moment or two
We would bill and coo
And never even knew
What we fought about
And now your Joe
Has to go
But he'll come back to you again
So sleep your sleep, old girl
Our love will keep, old girl
Till then
And though your Joe
Has to go
He may come back to you again
So sleep your sleep, old girl
Our love will keep, old girl
Till then
Goodbye, old girl
My old girl
Goodbye
