So Long, Farewell, Goodbye
Good luck and lots of merriment, we'll miss you on the beat
The thought of you will cheer us through the kiss of summer heat
The work we do is hardly true to people in their plight
The human zoo we answer to is all we dream at night
We hope that you enjoy the ride that real people mention
Until you find the joy inside is free of our detention
The hopeful dream of happiness that happened just for you
Is now the nod of emptiness we share at eighty-two
The hopeful vice of paradise is what we really need
A joyful slice of something nice inspired by our greed
The plucky price of lucky dice is worth another spin
The fire you acquire is a buyer with a sin
You're a doer we admire, with a zest for cresting higher
So your quest, for the best, must invest you with desire
You're a winner, not a crier, and you always were a trier
If you soar, out the door, then you'll always be a flyer
Thank you, Shar, our old friend, for the time we had was great
Like a star, to the end, you did more than hesitate
With each bar, that we bend, is the path to share your fate
From afar, we pretend, that you care enough to wait.
