about

Parting from friends is hard, but it’s great we can celebrate their friendship and wish them well.

lyrics

FAREWELL

Farewell, no tongue can tell
How great I think you are
I know you will excel
Always you’ve been a star
Farewell, no one can say
How much you mean to us
You’d work and talk and pray
Always without a fuss

Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.

Farewell, I know you’ll say
How small were all your deeds
But grace showed you the way
You met all kinds of needs
Farewell, but this I’ll say
Great help you were to me
And now you’re going away
Good friend you’ll always be

Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.

Farewell, I want to say
So far the Lord has led
For you I’ll always pray
I know you’ll knock them dead
Farewell, I love your smile
Light up a darkened room
You went the second mile
Burned bright amid the gloom

Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.
Farewell, I wish you well.

Alex MacDonald Edinburgh, UK

Grew up in Kildonan Strath, Sutherland, where I loved the psalms and hymns and the old folk songs my father had learned from his drover grand uncle.Went on to Cash, the Clancys and Corries, Tom Paxton and Dylan. Started playing guitar and writing songs in my teens, but only started recording this century with my rock band sons! Either solo or with my band, I've played all over Scotland. ... more
