Bye & Bye - Tom Dicke

    It's somethin' in the way people listen
    And only hear the things they want to hear
    They'll look you right there in the eyes
    And act like they don't recognize your fear
    Like this friend of mine, we'll call him a character,
    Come watch everybody laugh at all his jokes
    Admission there is very low,
    if you don't let on that you know
    He's just a ghost
    So you say

    Bye-bye, you'll be back tomorrow morning
    By and by, but when you left without a warning
    You lied, tell me how's he gonna save himself
    When everybody says
    Bye-bye

    Every man can try and be an island
    Surround himself with water and sand
    But he can't stop the sun and the rain
    Ain't easy to explain or understand
    Like this friend of mine, we'll call him a loner
    'Cause he never seems to need nobody's help
    But maybe come some lonely night,
    when he ain't feeling right
    Where's he go
    When there's no one else
    'Cause you've said

    Bye-bye, you'll be back tomorrow morning
    By and by, but when you left without a warning
    You lied, tell me how's he gonna save himself
    When everybody says
    Bye-bye

    If everybody had someone to lean on
    Someone who would always be true
    Someone to share your lonely times
    Someone who was always kind to you
    Like this friend of mine, we'll call him courageos
    "Cause his life ain't easy, and I've got the proof
    While his many lovers run away
    Go to live and lie another day
    You can bet he tells the truth
    When he says

    Bye-bye, I'll be back tomorrow morning
    By and by, and if I leave without a warning
    Don't you cry, I'll be here to help you survive it
    When everybody says bye-bye
