Goodbye (Mary Hopkin Song)
- Goodbye (Mary Hopkin Song)
"Goodbye" is a song written by Paul McCartney (but credited to Lennon-McCartney) and performed by Mary Hopkin. It was released in March 1969 and it reached #2 in the UK singles chart, prevented from reaching the top position by the Beatles' single "Get Back".
Paul McCartney Recording
The song was never officially released by the Beatles, although there are bootleg recordings of Paul McCartney singing the song. Notably, McCartney does not change the lyrics, so it appears he is singing to another man.
Lyrics
Please don't wake me up too late, tomorrow comes,
And I will not be late.
Late today when it becomes tomorrow
I will leave and go away.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye.
Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now
And linger on my mind.
Leave your flowers at my door,
I'll leave them for the one who waits behind.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye.
Far away my lover sings a lonely song
And calls me to his side.
When the sound of lonely drums
Invites me on I must be by his side.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye.
