The curtains will close
The lights will go dim
And I'll change my clothes
For the last time my friend

Gather my roses
Swallow your tears
I may be leaving
But at least I was here

So goodbye and thank you
It's my last curtain call
When you hear the applause
Hang my hat on the wall

But I'll never be far
I'm as close as the wind
So goodbye and thank you
I'll see you again

When I walk away
With the dust on my shoes
I'll hear what you say
So be kind with the news

If things get too loud
And you lose your nerve
Remember I left
You with these words

So goodbye and thank you
It's my last curtain call
When you hear the applause
Hang my hat on the wall

But I'll never be far
I'm as close as the wind
So goodbye and thank you
I'll see you again

So I'm closing my eyes
And I'll picture your face
This beautiful life
Did not go to waste

Goodbye and thank you
It's my last curtain call
I can hear the applause
Hang my hat on the wall

But I'll never be far
I'm as close as the wind
So goodbye and thank you
I'll see you again

Oh goodbye and thank you
I'll see you again
