Farewell To Paradise - Emitt Rhodes

Rest your heart and free your soul, travel-worn at journey’s end

As you slowly sail away billowed clouds softly descend

Midnight, moonlight, starbright, wish me a warm sunrise

Farewell to Paradise

Passing dreams too quickly fade all are lost when we awake

Breathless wind blow me away, bring me back before daybreak

Midnight, moonlight, starbright, wish me a warm sunrise

Farewell to Paradise

With every newborn sun I’m a child with eyes unkept

With every hour passed I’m alone with time well-spent

Say so long to Shangri-La, sad farewell to paradise

Sailing ships across the sea shed a sea from sorrowed eyes

Midnight, moonlight, starbright, wish me a warm sunrise

Farewell to Paradise
