Goodbye by Zina Goldrich Lyrics
[VIVIAN]
(spoken) On behalf of myself and my husband Charles
We appreciate you coming to his virtual funeral
(sung) Even when expected
It's really not
Let's all give our thanks
For the time we got
Thank you for coming
It means a lot
Goodbye
And if Charles were here
We know what he'd say:
"Take good care of the boat
I would love to stay
But my bridge hand's arrived
At the final play"
Goodbye
Let's all raise a glass
To the time that we shared
And thе people we lovеd
And the friends who cared
And the good that we did
And the dreams that we dared to dream
That we dared to—
That we dared to—
(spoken) Really, Time Warner? Now you crash?
(sung) Do you laugh? Do you cry?
Do you run and hide?
Do you dry all the tears
That you should have cried?
Do you just tell the truth—
The connection's died—?
Goodbye
(spoken) Dear God, how many gray suits can one man own?
(sung) Meet a boy, fall in love
And the world is new
And he's poor, and he's brash
But his love is true
You tell all of the things
You're supposed to do
Goodbye
You put Vassar on hold
And become his rock
And your dreams become sweat
That's around the clock
Throw the doors open wide
And the clients flock
Goodbye
And you're finally through
With the same old songs
Put the truth in the trash
Where the truth belongs
Or, let's just say, where it remains
Look at that
Here it lies
Time goes on, things get old
Then you hit a snag
You do all that you can
So the tongues don't wag
Then you fill up your life
In a garbage bag
Goodbye
And you marvel, in fact
At the price it cost
Was it worth all the pain?
All the "you" you lost?
With a "whoosh" down the bin
All the years get tossed
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
(spoken) You stupid son of a bitch!
