"Fare Thee Well"
Rick Landers (c) 2008)

Fare thee well
You stop me in my tracks
with just a smile
A bouquet in your hands
We walk the aisle

And I'll love you forever, and a day
Let nothing come between us
nothing come between us
Let nothing come between us
My Bella May

Fare thee well
We celebrate
we congregate alone
Our secret thoughts
Our Gordian Knots
Undone

Your childish dreams
and silly schemes
My foolish pride's
Empty inside
truth be told
I should have lied
My Bella May

Don't you know that she's lonely
Thinking of our dreams of yesterday
Don't you know that I'm lonely too
But, sometimes love gets in the way

Fare thee well
forget me not
my bon vivant has sailed
there's nothing left to hurt me now
but a pilot's nails
a rascal's dram's
not worth a damn
He's fallen down
But gets up again
That's his play
That's his plan
for Bella May

Don't you know that she's lonely
Thinking of our dreams of yesterday
Don't you know that I'm lonely too
But, sometimes love gets in the way

Fare thee well
