Hey baby, I gotta leave you...

By the time you read this letter I'll be outta your life.

Gone forever more but guess I'll survive.

I'm gonna leave my records and a forwarding address.

Ain't you glad honey that I'm offa your chest?

You said you wanted Paris, Rome 'n' St. Tropez...

Perfume by Chanel and a ring by Cartier...

But I gave you headaches with my old fashioned ways,

but that's all irrelevant to what I'm tryin' to say.

I'm a fool for you, baby, pride won't let me stay.

I'm a fool for you, honey, and I'll come back any day.

Guess I'll always love you all my life.

Hey baby...

You can keep your Streisands, Bardots and Lorens.

You're my everything but now you're my end .

It may be over but just before I go I can make a new start,

But I can't mend a broken heart.

So when I read about you in all the national press

"On the arm of so and so", I may get depressed...

Cause I tried to love you but didn't fit in .

I came on the dust... I'll leave on the wind!

I'm a fool for you, baby, my pride won't let me stay.

I'm a fool for you, honey, I'll come back any day.

I'm a fool for you, baby, I don't care what your friends say.

I'm a fool for you, honey, and that's the way I’ll stay.

I guess I'll always love you... all my life.

So long, baby...
