Goodbye, Goodbye Michelle, Adieu

Goodbye, goodbye Michelle, adieu

Been seventeen years, never got over you

I guess it's high past time that I do

Goodbye, Michelle, adieu

~~~

Chance meeting, we were lovers that night

A classic case of love at first sight

Our night of passion then I went back home

Loving you long distance by phone

~

But as it turns out life got in the way

The lover before you had something to say

She told me she carried a child that was mine

A hard choice was made, I told you goodbye

~~~

Goodbye, goodbye Michelle, adieu

I meant what I said when I said I love you

But it's the right thing that I now must do

Goodbye, Michelle, adieu

~~~

You called me in tears and wanted me back

I stood my ground and wouldn't backtrack

The first child miscarried and things fell apart

I called you, remorseful, but you kept your heart

~

Then she pulled me back through tears of her own

For her and our daughters I made a home

I tried to make it work for their sake

Never knowing how she would forsake

~~~

Goodbye, goodbye Michelle, adieu

I meant what I said when I said I love you

But it's the right thing that I now must do

Goodbye, Michelle, adieu

~~~

It takes two hearts in love to thrive

And neither of us could make it survive

Her heart wasn't in it and neither was mine

Though painful, it was just a matter of time

~

Ten years had passed since I lost your love

I wanted to tell you how sorry I was

I knew I could never regain what I lost

I paid a price then and knew what it cost

~~~

Goodbye, goodbye Michelle, adieu

Been seventeen years, never got over you

I guess it's high past time that I do

Goodbye, Michelle, adieu

~~~

I found your name on an internet page

My heartbreak for you hadn't faded with age

I sent a message to see if I could

Express my old heartache and be understood

~

You told me quite bluntly that you had moved on

Your son is now two and your marriage is strong

You hoped I had learned from my actions at last

You have a bright future, forget what is past

~~~

Goodbye, goodbye Michelle, adieu

Been seventeen years, never got over you

I guess it's high past time that I do

Goodbye, Michelle, adieu

~~~

Goodbye, goodbye Michelle, adieu

Been seventeen years, never got over you

Gone are the days I can say 'I love you'

Goodbye, Michelle, adieu

Goodbye, Michelle, adieu

Goodbye .... Michelle ........ adieu
