Ragtime movie - Goodbye My Love lyrics

<br>

[MOTHER]<br>

Goodbye my love.<br>

God bless you.<br>

And I suppose, <br>

Bless America, too.<br>

You have places to discover,<br>

Oceans to conquer,<br>

You need to know<br>

I'll be there at the window<br>

While you go on your way.<br>

I accept that.<br>

But, what of the people<br>

Who stay where they're out,<br>

Planted like flowers<br>

with roots underfoot.<br>

I know some of those people<br>

Have hearts that would rather<br>

Go Journeying<br>

On the sea.<br>

Tell me,<br>

What of the people<br>

Whose boudaries chafe,<br>

Who marry so bravely<br>

And end up so safe.<br>

Tell me how to be someone<br>

Whose heart can explore<br>

While still staying here.<br>

Let this be the year<br>

We both travel...<br>

Goodbye, my love<br>

Journey on.<br>

<br>
