Goodbye Henry. (feat. Al Green)

One, two, three, four (ooh)

This is a sad song, though it feels happy

It is not happy at all, in fact

It makes me so, so sad to sing this song

But I will sing it for you anyway

This song is called "Goodbye Henry."

And I wrote it ′bout a boy, a very lovely boy

And his name isn't even Henry, but I′m just tryna be respectful

We don't talk anymore, he could be next-door, wouldn't even know

In another life, we could have made it, but in this one, well, we let go

And I remember last time I seen him, it was a devastating day

At the railway tavern, my local, and we had no words to say

So I sipped my gin in silence and I kissed the man goodbye

And we dried each other′s tears, and I told him

"Henry, oh, I wish you only love (only love) and happiness (happiness)

When I′m swallowing tears as I'm watching you drive away

Through my window, I don′t want you to go

How could I, baby? Oh (I miss you so)

I do hope you'll try your best (try) and you′ll drink a little less

Let's pretend, Henry, maybe one day we could try again

Don′t forget me (don't forget me) or regret me (or regret me)"

I tell him, "Goodbye, Henry"

I told you this was a sad song

I did try to warn you, in case you relate

In case your sorry heart is also breaking

In case you're driving to work and every bloody left turn you take

Just so happens to be down memory lane

And it′s that pain, the aching kind

Had high hopes for me and Henry, I really did

In another life, I′d wear his ring and we'd have three beautiful children

And it hurts to never see him, but the world still turns around

So I squeezed his lovely hand so tight, and I told him

"Oh, I wish you only love (only love) and happiness (happiness)

When I′m swallowing tears as I'm watching you drive away

Through my window, I don′t want you to go

How could I, baby? Oh (I miss you so)

I do hope you'll try your best and you′ll drink a little less

And who knows, Henry? Maybe one day we could try again

Don't forget me (don't forget me) or regret me (or regret me)"

I tell him, "Goodbye, Henry"

I told you this was a sad song

But it is my pleasure

To say that, all the way from Memphis, Tennessee

Put your hands together (put your hands)

Ladies and gentlemen, for Al Green

Hello, how are you? I hope you′re well

It′s nice to be on a microphone with a story to tell

I think of all the memories, some bitter, some sweet

The people I've loved, and the people I′ll never get to greet

These heartaches don't get easier (easier), pains of losing love (losing love)

Time will help the healing, and Christ that′s up above (oh)

Sometimes in life we have to say goodbye

Tears falling from our eyes

I pray it won't hurt like it does tonight

As I wish ′em only love and happiness

I'm swallowing tears (yeah, I) as I'm watching you drive away

Through my window (yeah, yeah), I don′t want you to go

How could I, baby? Oh

I do hope you′ll try your best and you'll drink a little less

(And who knows, Henry?) That maybe one day we could try again

Don′t forget me (don't forget me) or regret me (regret me, regret me)

Don′t forget, don't forget, don′t forget, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love

I hope (you're happy now), wherever he is (feeling better now)

He's happy, he′s safe, and he′s oh so over this (I said)

Though I'm still in love, still in love, still in love with him

Don′t forget, don't forget, don′t forget (oh my, my, my)

I hope (I hope) wherever he is (ooh, I do)

He's happy, he′s safe (I hope he's happy and safe) and he's oh so over this

Though I′m still in love, still in love, (I may be) still in love with him

Still, I′m in love, I'm in love, I′m in love, love, love, oh, baby

And I guess sometimes that's just how it goes

Sometimes love sticks around, and sometimes love hits the road

And as I watch Henry drive out of my life

I warned you, dear listener, didn′t I?

When I told you before this was a sad, sad, sad song

Drop it here

Brooksy can't see me
