Farewell Song Lyrics - Joplin Janis

Whoa, the last time that I saw 

Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word 

And I knew, darling as I looked into your eyes 

That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard 

Well, I'm talking to you about love 

Did you hear me, I said love 

Because it's got to be such a long, long, way 

From denying, from denying 

And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more 

And I believed in you all the time 

Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong 

Won't you try and build a life with you 

Guess I should've known it 

I guess I should've known it all along 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more 

Babe, I ask you just once more 

Because it's got to be such a long, long way from crying 

And I been crying and I got tears in my eyes 

Yeah, but don't you know 

When you love somebody that's so precious 

They can never, never, never be had very cheaply 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no 

You're gonna have to pay your dues 

And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose 

Hey, but that's the way 

You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply 

Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself 

'Cause I know that it's my fault, too 

It's so easy to hurt you, darling 

It's so hard, it's hard not to do 

And I know that you showed me a new life 

And you'll always, you'll always be my friend 

Yeah, but I don't think, honey 

That I can keep from trying 

And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, baby 

Yes, I have now 

Well, tell me... what would I do without you, child ? 

I'm afraid that I can't say 

But I hope, honey, that when you will remember 

Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day 

Now, now, now, now, good-bye I'll see you sometime 

And don't be worried, everything's just fine 

Babe, I don't think that I can keep from dying 

And I've been dying 

I say now every day I die a little bit, babe 

I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart 

I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby 

I said now I can't help myself 

I can't help myself 

I gotta find him, gotta, I gotta need him 

'Cause I gotta find my man, find my baby 

'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, 

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, yeah, gotta 

Gotta, gotta, gotta, oh my Lord I gotta 

Help me now now now now 

Help me, babe, yeah, yeah, yeah, 

Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!! 

Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!! 

Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!
