"Goodbye Columbus"
(Jim Yester)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
Written for Paramount Pictures, this was the title song for Ali McGraw's
first major film. A great exercise in songwriting, after viewing early
film rushes in New York, the group returned to L.A. to write, produce,
and record our part of the music score in an amazingly short period of
time. [A rejected Kirkman/Alexander composition was reworked into
_The Association_'s "Goodbye Forever".]
Verse 1:
Got to say hello, it's a lucky day
Kiss the moon goodbye and be on our way
It's a lucky day 'cause I found you
Gonna build a new world around you
Touch the sun and run, it's a lucky day
Chorus:
Hello life, goodbye Columbus
I've got a feelin' that you're gonna hear from us
You're gonna know that we've taken the world by surprise
Got that look in our eyes
Verse 2:
Its a lucky day, just for changin'
Leavin' the old world behind
Lucky day for walkin' a new road
Just to clear your mind
It's a day for startin' a new way
Tellin' the old one goodbye
Lucky day for gettin' above it
Spread your wings and fly
repeat chorus
It's a lucky day (goodbye Columbus...)
repeat chorus
It's a lucky day, yeah
Goodbye, goodbye Columbus
Coda [repeat to fade]:
Goodbye, goodbye Columbus
Goodbye, goodbye Columbus
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
