Farewell
Delta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sadness just makes me sigh,
I've come to say goodbye,
Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues.
Those farewell blues make me yearn,
That parting kiss seems to burn.
Farewell, dearie, Someday I will return.
Dreaming of you is sweet,
Someday again we'll meet.




Overall Meaning

The opening line "Sadness just makes me sigh" sets the mood for Delta Four's song "Farewell Blues." The singer is about to say goodbye to someone, and they are filled with a sense of melancholy. The farewell they are saying goodbye to is not a happily anticipated one. Instead, the singer is lamenting the end of a relationship. They find it difficult to leave, and the farewell blues they feel make their heart heavy. The words "Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues" suggest that the singer has no choice but to depart, but deep down, they wish they could stay.


The chorus of the song amplifies the singer's sense of loss. The absence of the person they are saying goodbye to makes them yearn, and the parting kiss "seems to burn." Despite the heartbreak, the singer remains optimistic about the future. They promise to return someday, and the hope of seeing their loved one again is sweet. In the meantime, the singer will dream of their loved one and treasure that memory until they meet again.

Freddy Sol You are SO right! I'm a former NWA Flight Attendant. I worked a few maiden flights from MSP to LAX when we took delivery of the first 747-400's. I went on to fly several DTW to NRT non-stops after transferring to Detroit. They will always be the big red tails of Northwest.
