Farewell To Paradise
[Verse 1]
Rest your heart and free your soul\
Travel-worn at journey's end
As you slowly sail away
Billowed clouds softly descend

[Chorus]
Midnight, moonlight, starbright
Wish me a warm sunrise
Farewell to paradise

[Verse 2]
Passing dreams too quickly fade
All are lost when we awake
Breathless wind blow me away
Bring me back before daybreak

[Chorus]
Midnight
Moonlight
Starbright
Wish me a warm sunrise
Farewell to paradise

[Bridge]
With every newborn sun
I'm a child with eyes unkept
With every hour passed
I'm alone with time well-spent
[Verse 3]
Say so long to Shangri-La
Sad farewell to paradise
Sailing ships across the sea
Shed a tear from sorrowed eyes

[Chorus]
Midnight
Moonlight
Starbright
Wish me a warm sunrise
Farewell to paradise
