Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes of the Brokenhearted (Original Recordings)

Farewell Is a Lonely Sound

(Farewell, farewell, my love)
(Farewell, farewell, my love)

Farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love

Saying goodbye to someone you love
Is so hard for any man
You say it's just for a while, then you force a smile
And you hope she'll understand

Then a tear appears in her eyes
As she tightly holds your hand
Then you let her know that it's time to go
You must leave while you can

Oh, but, farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love

(Farewell, farewell, my love)
I'm leaving darling, but I'll be back one day

Oh, in every silent step you take
Each one hurts your heart
As you board the train, you feel the pain
That starts as you depart, yeah

You wipe your eyes so she can't see
'Cause a man should never cry
Now there's just a trace of her crying face
As you wave to her goodbye

That's why farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love

I don't wanna leave you, baby
I don't wanna say goodbye no, no
Ooh, 'cause it hurts inside, and you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love

Baby, baby, farewell is a lonely sound
When told to someone you love
You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why
You must leave the one that you love
