First he gave away the clothes she wore He couldn't bear to see them anymore Coz she's not gonna wear them one more time Farewell, goodnight He placed her jewels in the hands of other girls They'd never look as good under the pearls He threw out everything from her life Farewell, goodnight "I said I'd stand beside you You said you'd stand beside me too Now I'm lost and I've lost you In the shadow of your wings, of your wings" He donned his suit from the day she took his name And within his car before he slipped away He said: "My love is dead! My one delight Farewell, goodnight"
