Song Lyrics #2

So Long, Farewell

By: The Sound of Music

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall

And the bells in the steeple too.

And up in the nursery an absurd little bird

Is popping up to say, "Cuckoo" (Cuckoo, cuckoo)

Regretfully they tell us but firmly they compel us

To say goodbye to you.

So long, farewell,auf wiedersehen, good night.

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

So long, farewell auf wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you.

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen.

I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

"Yes? No."

So long, farewell, au wiedersehen, goodbye

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye

I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone to bed and so must I

So long, farewell, au wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye
