Lyrics for Signing Off

Signing off Does it surprise you? I won't need your lips any more Signing off Can't idolise you My heart crossed your name off the door Signing off Now that I've told you That this is just where I came in Signing off Why should I hold you? You've already said I can't win It's strange how the rest of the world knows The things you should see at a glance And I want what all of the world knows A person to person romance Signing off I can't pretend, dear My trip to the stars took a spill We're all through This is the ending Because you only wanted a thrill I'm signing off I'll always remember the pleasure Of friendship and all that it's worth I'll know that it's something to treasure From here to the ends of the Earth Signing off Happy I met you So please make me happy again And be sure I won't forget you The best of everything until then I'm signing off Signing off
