LYRIC: | |||||
And so goodbye, my lady of a day Now let your step be long and now your laugh be gay It's only right that everything went wrong It couldn't happen any other way A thousand miles east, the lovers say It's written in the sky with stars that lead away It couldn't happen to a nicer guy A nicer girl, my lady of a day Through screens of memory you leave me Smile on the screen behind And then the screen behind the screen behind the screen But nothing alters what has been Nor do my eyes deceive me And so goodbye, my lady of a night Now let your head be clear and now your smile bright As hour by day by week by month by year You dim but never wholly disappear On the curving path away from my delight | |||||
