Goodbye Priscilla
Gene Summers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I really have to go
But before I do please let me know
That there's no one in your heart but me
And in your heart I'll always be
Bye bye baby blue
I'll be seeing you

Well, it seems our love was hit and run
And you had to leave before we'd begun
Maybe it really was a crime
To want to have you all the time
Bye bye baby blue
I'll be seeing you

BRIDGE:
Bye bye baby blue
I hate to say goodbye
Bye bye baby blue
Must go before I cry

But before I go just hold me near
And that's all I ask from you my dear
Remember me whenever you can
And baby try to understand
Bye bye baby blue
Oh, I'll be seeing you
Goodbye Priscilla.

Line by Line Meaning

You know I really have to go
I must depart soon


But before I do please let me know
Before I leave, inform me


That there's no one in your heart but me
Confirm that I am the only one in your heart


And in your heart I'll always be
I will forever hold a place in your heart


Bye bye baby blue
Farewell, my love


I'll be seeing you
I will visit or remember you


Well, it seems our love was hit and run
Our love was brief and sudden


And you had to leave before we'd begun
You departed before our relationship could properly start


Maybe it really was a crime
Perhaps our love was taboo


To want to have you all the time
To desire you incessantly


Bye bye baby blue
Farewell, my love


I'll be seeing you
I will visit or remember you


Bye bye baby blue
Farewell, my love


I hate to say goodbye
I dislike parting from you


Bye bye baby blue
Farewell, my love


Must go before I cry
I must depart before becoming emotional


But before I go just hold me near
Before leaving, embrace me


And that's all I ask from you my dear
I only request this small gesture from you, my love


Remember me whenever you can
Think of me when possible


And baby try to understand
Please attempt to comprehend


Bye bye baby blue
Farewell, my love


Oh, I'll be seeing you
I will visit or remember you


Goodbye Priscilla.
Farewell, Priscilla
