The shadowy darkness Of a black painted room Had been my inspiration Sunshine, glow of her short blond hair Was a bit of love's temptation People come and people go (Lord) Time, alas, does too (Baby, no matter) Now we've gone our separate ways In search of someone new The lamp from the ceiling The bed on the floor The place I hung my clothes The beautiful dreams of music and love, girl I love you, heaven knows People come (Girl) And people go (Yeah) Time, alas, does too (Girl, yes it is) Now we've gone our separate ways In search of someone new Yeah, but while I speak low Low deep inside I hear a voice begin (Yeah) Saying fare thee well Goodbye, my love (Lord) Hope we meet again Said bye bye, baby Bye bye, bye bye, baby Yeah, so long, baby I'm sayin', "Goodbye, girl" It's been nice (Yeah) Yeah good, baby Man, I love ya Bye bye, bye bye
