Yo, so this next song that you guys see here in the title that I'm about to do it is a
request by William Bilski, Rogeezer, first half of the Geezer Boys.
So I would like to hear David Gates, the Goodbye Girl from 1977 movie of the same name.
I met my wife while on leave in Thailand from Vietnam 1970.
Wow.
We were married in 1971.
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of how she didn't trust soldiers.
Remember how I kept telling myself not to screw this up?
Thankfully I didn't and we're still together.
All right.
So I'm getting ready to roll right into that for you, sir.
And here we [E] go.
[E] [A] [B]
[E] [Abm] [A]
[B] [E] All your life [Ebm] you've waited [Dbm] for love to come and stay.
[Gbm] And now that I have [Dbm] found you, you [A] must slip [B] away.
[E] I know it's hard [Ebm] believing [Dbm] the words you've [Abm] heard before, [Gbm] but darling, you [Abm] must trust
them [B] just once more.
Darling, [E] baby, goodbye [Abm] doesn't [A] mean forever.
[B] Let me [E] tell you goodbye [Abm] doesn't mean we'll [A] never be together again.
[Dbm] If you [Abm] wake up and I'm not [A] there, I won't be [D] long away.
[Dbm] Because the things you do, my [Gb] goodbye girl, [E] will bring me back to you.
I [A]
[B] [E] know [Ebm] you've been taken, [Dbm] afraid to [Abm] hurt again.
[Gbm] You fight the [Dbm] love you feel for me instead of giving in.
[E] I can wait [Ebm] forever for [Dbm] help and use.
[Abm] [Gbm] But I was meant for [Abm] you and you for me.
[B] So remember [E] goodbye [Abm] doesn't mean [A] forever.
Let me tell you [E] goodbye [Abm] doesn't mean [A] we'll never be together again.
[Dbm] We may be [Abm] so far apart, [A] but still we'll have [D] my heart.
[Dbm] So forget your [Gb] past, my goodbye girl, because now you're home [E] at last.
[A]
[E]
[Eb] All right, old geezer, I see you.
I see you, William Bilski.
Hey, I like that, man.
This is what you gave there.
Let me just say this.
When listening to this song right here and hearing the words to it, I can see your story
being played out. I'm serious.
I mean, I don't know.
You didn't really go into too many details in your story, but I feel that like if you
was going off and being away from her, I can see this song right here definitely being
something that you actually would have in the back of your head playing because it seemed
like it can suit, especially by the lower way and leave or whatever like that and vice versa.
If she had to be away from you for some reason, but this seemed like it's one of those songs
like you just long and be back with the person that you actually are missing, that you are away from.
So it's a nice little love story there.
Hopefully, if your wife is watching this with you, she's getting all butterflies and blushing
and all that because you feel this way about her.
You know you love him, don't you?
You know you love him.
He's doing a good job, isn't he?
Anyway, I like the words to this, man.
I love the feel to it.
There's something about that piano part that I don't know what that particular tune right there.
It comes from something besides this that [B] I cannot put my finger on it, but I know it
comes with something else.
Some of y'all gonna be able to tell me, but anyway, like I said, this is a really good song.
Nice love heartfelt song of yearning to be with the one that you're not able to be with
for a short time period.
I'm not talking about forever folks.
I'm talking about just being a y'all know what I'm talking about.
Absent makes the heart grow fonder is what I'm getting at.
