Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye Lyrics - Phantom Of The Paradise - Paul Williams

We'll remember you forever Eddie 

Through the sacrifice you made we can't believe the price you paid 

For love 

Little Eddie Mitty born in Jersey City 

Started singin' when he was five 

Never knew his father mother didn't bother 

To catch his last name fast as he came 

He was off and flying 

Times were really trying 

Eddie and his mother alone 

Soon another mister soon a baby sister 

Mama kept swingin' and Eddie kept singin'

NEW SONG: Chris Brown - Don't Check On Me Lyrics ft. Justin Bieber 

Ah ya ya ya ya ya 

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya 

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya 

Ya ya ya ya for love for love 

And now the tragic story 

Eddie's sister, Mary Louise, needed an operation 

To get the money he would have to become an overnight sensation 

Eddie believed the American people 

Had wonderful, lovegiving hearts 

His well publicized end he considered would send 

His memorial album to the top of the charts...and it did 

Ah ya ya ya ya ya 

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya 

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya 

Ya ya ya ya for love for love

When a young singer dies to our shock and surprise 

In a plane crash or flashy sports car 

He becomes quite well known 

And the kindness he's shown has made more than one post mortem star 

Well you did it Eddie and though it's hard to applaud suicide 

You gave all you could give so your sister could live 

All America's choked up inside 

We'll remember you forever Eddie 

Thru' the sacrifice you made we can't believe the price you paid 

For love
