One, two, three, four

This is a sad song
Though it feels happy
It is not happy at all
In fact, it makes me so, so sad to sing this song
But I'm singing for you anyway
This song is called Goodbye Henry
And I wrote it about a boy, a very lovely boy
And his name isn't even Henry
but I'm just trying to be respectful
And we don't talk anymore
I could be next door, he wouldn't even know
In another life we could have made it
but in this one, well, we let go
And I remember last time I seen him
it was a devastating day
At the railway tavern in my local
and we had no words to say
So I sipped my gin in silence, and I kissed the man, goodbye

And we dried each other's tears, and I told him
Henry, oh, I wish you only love (only love)
and happiness (happiness)
And I'm swallowing tears
as I'm watching you drive away through my window
I don't want you to go
How could I, baby? Oh-oh
I do hope you'll try your best
and you'll drink a little less
Just be there, Henry, maybe one day we could try again
Don't forget me (forget me) or regret me (regret me)
I tell him: Goodbye, Henry: He
I told you this was a sad song
I did try to warn you
In case you relate
in case your sorry heart is also breaking
In case you're driving to work
and every bloody left turn
you take just so happens to be down memory lane
And it's that pain, the aching kind
And I hope some in me me and him
And all the love that we're bespringing
and we have three little children
And you'll never see him, but the world still turns around
So I squeezed his lovely hand so tight

And I told him: Oh, I wish you only love (only love)
and happiness (happiness)
And I'm swallowing tears
as I'm watching you drive away through my window
I don't want you to go
How could I, baby?
(I'm in love with you) oh-oh (I'm in love)
I do hope you'll try your best
and you'll drink a little less
Then, who knows? Maybe one day we could try again
Don't forget me (forget me) or regret me (regret me)
I tell him: Goodbye, Henry

I told you this was a sad song
But it is my pleasure
To say that all the way from Memphis
Tennessee put your hands
Together, ladies and gentlemen
For Al Green
Hello, how are you? I hope you're well
It's nice to be on the microphone with a story to tell
I think of all the memories
Some bitter, some sweet
The people I've loved are the people I'll never get to greet
'Cause heartaches don't get easy (easy)
faith and losing love
Time will have to heal it, the price is up above
Sometimes in life we have to say goodbye
Tears falling from our eyes
I pray it won't hurt like it does, tonight is ours

She'll only love you every night
I'll swallowing tears
then I'm watching you drive away through my window
I don't want you to go
How could I, baby? Oh-oh
I do hope you'll try your best
and you'll drink a little less
Then, who knows? Maybe one day we could try again
Don't forget me (forget me) or regret me (regret me)
Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, love, love, love
Oh-oh-oh
Feel better now?
I don't know, [?]
Still in love, still in love, still in love, again
Never again, never again, never again
Let the world know
I'll do whatever you want to do
(I'm in love with you)
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love)

And I guess sometimes that's just how it goes
Sometimes love sticks around
And sometimes love hits the road
and as I watch Henry drive out of my life
I warned you, dear listener, didn't I?
That when I tell this is a sad, sad, sad song
Drop it here (hahahaha)
