I Love You Goodbye

<br>I would never normally go bowling<br>On a friday morning in New Orleans<br>But I like to come here to remember<br>The kind of places you took me<br>Like the time we stole a Datsun<br>And drove all night to the everglades<br>Until we crashed it in a big electric storm<br>And stood there listening to the bayou rain<br><br>The county sheriff had a hair - lip<br>Louisiana`s pride and joy<br>He said politley as he cuffed me<br>&amp;quot;I never busted an English boy ...<br>But I will accept a contribution<br>To the Opelousas` Charity Ball<br>But you better drive this dirty Datsun<br>Into the Gulf of Mexico&amp;quot;<br><br>Under a Cajun moon I lay me open<br>There is a spirit here that won`t be broken<br>Some words are sad to sing<br>Some leave me tongue-tied<br>(But the hardest thing to tell you )<br>But the hardest words I know<br>Are I love you goodbye<br>I love you goodbye<br><br>Typhoon Pierre delayed my plane till morning<br>(Jusqu`au matin)<br>Let the bontemps rouler from your accordion<br>(L`accordien)<br>Under a cajun moon I lay me open<br>(Y a un esprit partout)<br>There is a spirit here that won`t be broken<br>(Simple words are sad to sing<br>Some words are sad to sing<br>(They leave me tongue-tied)<br>Some leave you tongue-tied<br>(But the hardest thing to tell you my friend)<br>But the hardest words I know<br>(Is I love you goodbye)<br>Are I love you goodbye<br>(Je t`aime, au revoir)<br>I love you goodbye<br>(Je t`aime, toujours)<br>I love you, goodbye
