[SVCBeercats]

 

[Centerstream]

Metallic covers Seger

 

[Scud49]

 

[EasyEd]

The Beatles had a song for just about anything. I think this is their best leaving/goodbye song from the album I think solidified their greatness.

Thought about doing Cartman's version (you guys), but

Come Sail Away - Styx

 

[Bama fan]

Harry has a way with words for sure:

Jan and Dean after they moved on from surfing and car songs...

And here is one from Dan Fogelberg.

 

[Penn]

I will always remember you.

 

[Carnac]

This is the song I was going to post, but you beat me to it. He who hesitates.........

 

[Hoops66]

A different Husky, with a sad song...

 

[Hoops66]

 

[Beemer]

My favorite version of "Never Can Say Goodbye". What can I say, I'm a child of the 70s....

 

[Hoops66]

 

[Husky25]

 

[CL82]

This is probably the most beautiful song on this subject matter that’s ever been written.

For what it’s worth, Romanza is an excellent album. There isn’t a bad song on it.

 

[Hoops66]

Complete with lyrics

 

[64Zcode]

On a lighter note, Roy doesn't think good-byes are always a bad thing....

 

[64Zcode]

My opinion only, but I think Tom Cochrane (Canadian, w/Red Rider) is a gifted songwriter.
I Wish You Well

"I'm gonna check my scars at home
Gonna cash my chips and roam"

 

[Hoops66]

This is probably the most beautiful song on this subject matter that’s ever been written.

For what it’s worth, Romanza is an excellent album. There isn’t a bad song on it.

I certainly do agree, and then there's this one that is OT but also quite beautiful. The English lyrics are included,

 

[Hoops66]

Sorry, Joni, but I just like Mary's a bit more...

 

[Bigboote]

This song is an overheard conversation between a soon-to-be-asea sailor and his wife.

 

[Bigboote]

I know someone else made this song famous, but can't call up who. I just love Ry Cooder's version though.
