The Long Goodbye Lyrics by Leslie Stevens

Sinner

2019

[Verse 1]
The long goodbye
How grateful am I
To have known you and loved you
You're so hard to say goodbye to
When you're chased by the sweet moon
When you dream away the afternoon
Hold a thought in your heart
For the embrace that was ours
[Chorus]
Be good, be kind, be genuine
And love, I wish you love
You will always have mine
[Verse 2]
You were the one
Kept me up until the dawn
When the last wild horses run
From the storm to make the thunder
Say goodnight to the band
Say goodbye and try to understand
It was all for the best somehow
We're free to go our own way now
[Chorus]
Be good, be kind, be genuine
And love, I wish you love
You will always have mine
[Bridge]
And if you cannot hear my words
Ask me why I would write this verse
Let me only say I felt like singing to you
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
And if you cannot hear my words
Ask me why I would write this verse
Let me only say I felt like singing to you
[Chorus]
Be good, be kind, be genuine
And love, I wish you love
You will always have mine
You will always have mine
