Farewell, Dear Bonnie Lyrics

All alone, and the feelings gone
I wish I knew what that meant
Season's high, and the reason's low
Looks like heaven sent

You told me to look one day
For one more memory
You told me to
Why didn't you?
And didn't I?

With a thoughtful wish in my eyes
And your carefree moves, it makes me sigh
A serious laugh and a nervous reply
I can't stop to wonder why

You told me to look one day
For one more memory
You told me to
Why didn't you?
And didn't I?
Didn't I?
So won't you stay?
Stay, stay, stay?
To realize your dreams

Don't call her little miss understood
No matter how far it goes
I thought I new better
But it's better not to think

You told me to look one day
For one more memory
You told me to
Why didn't you?
And didn't I?
Didn't I?
Won't you stay?
Stay, stay, stay?
To realize your dreams

You told me to look one day
For one more memory
You told me to
Why didn't you?
And didn't I?
Didn't I?
Didn't I?
Won't you stay?
Stay, stay, stay?
To realize your dreams
Oh, won't you stay?
Stay, stay, stay?
To realize your dreams
And watch your dreams
Your dreams

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
