The Grand Old Lady Sails Away (Live at Massey Hall) Lyrics

I'm so sad to see you go

Although you have to sail away

But you'll be coming back I know

And I'll see you again someday

We knew it all along

The Grand Old Lady sets her sails today

But still I sing this song

To wish her well along the way

Even at the end I'd do it all again

This house it is a home to me now

I'm so sad to see you go

But I'll see you again somehow

We'll I thought I heard her say

We're all the way up in Heaven now

These ghosts they tend to stay

Once the show starts they dance around

Lights down, a dimming glow

A note of rest, the seams will start to fray

You'll be prettier I know

But in your hair I like the grey

Every now and then I say Goodbye to a friend

But this time it is more than a few

To the love of my life, in joy and my strife

I know that I will marry you soon

Thank you for the show

As I stand and we applaud your grace

I'm so sad to see you go

But I'll see you again someday, I'll see you again someday
