So good to watch my friends dreaming their lives away
So good to watch my friends dreaming all the day
If i could take them all with me, you know i would
If i could show them all the things that i've seen, i wish i could
So sad to watch my friends growing older
So sad to watch my friends growing colder
If i could give them all some sunshine, you know i would
If i could take them all to monterey, i wish i could
So sad to watch my friends as they watch me
So sad to hear them talking about the things that used to be
One day perhaps i will buy myself a big boat
And take all my friends away
Maybe one day i will buy myself and island
And there with my friends you know i'd stay
So long! i am going away!
So long! i am leaving today!
And don't forget all the things that we would do
And i know you'll spare a thought for me,
I'll save a prayer for you
