Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been good bein' here with you
Now that I've got to leave it's the end
I hope I'll be seein' you again
Well it's so long but now
It's been good having you so near
You can come back to me any time
I'll always be waiting right here
It's just about that time
Wish that I could do
Just one more song for you
Give my best
Take good care
Have no fear
I'll always be waiting right here
So long and goodbye
It's just about that time
Wish that I could do
Just one more song for you
