Lyrics Goodbye Gatsby - David Soul

Goodbye to roses
And the smell of romance
Quaint little houses
And the sound of friends'
Touring cars
And moving stars
Surviving heirs
And Russian tzars

Goodbye to champagne
Smuggled in from abroad
Romantic lovers that
We all could applaude
Speakeasy Bar
And crushing bore
Things that made
The twenties roar

Goodbye to all
You might have been
Before the stars
Got in your eyes
Before the winter
Took you by surprise
To all the, the pages that
You've left unwritten now
So sorry Scott almost forgot to bow

Goodbye to Jazzmen
Who played hard
And who played good
L'Enfant Terrible
And Hollywood
Goodbye to nuance
And non-chalance
Boulevards and
Bon vivance
Goodbye to roses
And the smell of romance

Goodbye to all
You might have been
Before the stars
Got in your eyes
Before the winter
Took you by surprise
To all the, the pages that
You've left unwritten now
So sorry Scott almost forgot to bow
So sorry Scott almost forgot to bow.
