Goodbye Gatsby Lyrics - Soul, David

Goodbye to roses and the smell of romance
Quaint little houses in the south of France
Touring cars and movie stars
Surviving in some Russian's arms

Goodbye to champagne smuggled in from abroad
Romantic lovers that we all could applaud
Speak easy door, crashing 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 pages that you've left unwritten now
So sorry Scott, almost forgot to bow

Goodbye the jazzmen who played hard and played good
L 'enfant terrible, Hollywood
Bright nuance and nonchalance
Boulevards en bon vivance

Good Bye 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 pages that you 've left unwritten now
So sorry Scott, almost forgot to bow

So sorry Scott, almost forgot to bow.
