Tommy Dorsey

Thomas Francis "Tommy" Dorsey, Jr. (November 19, 1905 - November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader of the Big Band era. He was known as "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", due to his smooth-toned trombone playing. Although he was not known for being a notable soloist, his technicality with the trombone gave him renown amongst other musicians. He was vastly admired by other musicians, however, for his technical skill on his instrument. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. more »

(Verse 1)
There's a far-off place I'm dreaming of
Where the breezes blow and the waters sing
And the days are long and the nights are soft
And the world is full of love and spring

(Chorus)
So fare thee well, farewell to arms
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie
Farewell to everything that's dear
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie

(Verse 2)
I must go away and leave you here
To dream your dreams and to shed your tears
But I'll come back to you someday
And we'll be happy once again

(Chorus)
So fare thee well, farewell to arms
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie
Farewell to everything that's dear
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie

(Bridge)
I'll never forget the way you smiled
Or the way you held me tight
And I'll never forget the love we shared
And the dreams we had that night

(Chorus)
So fare thee well, farewell to arms
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie
Farewell to everything that's dear
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie

(Outro)
Farewell to arms
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie
Farewell to everything that's dear
Farewell to you, my bonnie laddie
