Goodbye Holly - The Left Banke

She came into my life

On the wings of a lavender eagle

When I saw her I said, «you're the seagull»

And she said, «you're right»

And now she’s gone away

Yes I know in my mind I’ll remember

All the love any time I would send her

Till she stole the light

Holly said to say goodbye to you

She remembers (goodbye, goodbye, Holly) how you’d fare

Before her too

(Holly says to say goodbye, goodbye!)

Holly says that I first said that I would cry so

(Holly said that, I first thought that then she said goodbye so)

Goodbye dear Holly

I’m truly sorry

You know no one could love you more than I

When Holly came around

All the strength of the sea was beside her

And her beauty was ever denied her

For beauty was she

She came upon my eyes

Like the sky in the middle of dawning

And she conquered the night with the morning

That we might all see

Holly says to say goodbye to you

She remembers (goodbye, goodbye, Holly) how you’d fare

Before her too

(Holly says to say goodbye, goodbye!)

Holly says that I first said that I would cry so

(Holly says that, I first talked to her then she said goodbye so)

Goodbye dear Holly

I’m truly sorry

You know no one could love you more than I

Holly says to say goodbye to you

She remembers (goodbye, goodbye, Holly) how you’d fare

Before her too

(Holly says to say goodbye, goodbye!)

Holly says to say goodbye to you

She remembers (goodbye, goodbye, Holly) how you’d fare

Before her too

(Holly says to say goodbye, goodbye!)
