About Farewell My Summer Love

"Farewell My Summer Love" is a song recorded by Michael Jackson in 1973. Written by Keni St. Lewis, it was later released in 1984 as a single from the compilation album Farewell My Summer Love due to the commercial interest that generated from the sales of Jackson's hit 1982 album Thriller, despite the fact that Jackson had released that album on Epic Records instead of Motown. It hit No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart.

Farewell my summer love, farewell.
Girl I won't forget you.
Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh.
 
I found my happiest days when you came to see your grandma in May.
I bumped into you at the corner store;
I told you that you sure looked good, now.
 
Farewell my summer love, farewell.
Girl I won't forget you.
Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh.
 
Your grandma's house was next to mine,
we were together most of the time.
But summer's gotten away from us;
time's moving too fast for us.
 
Bye, bye, don't turn around, 'cause you might see me cry.
Farewell my summer love, farewell.
Girl I won't forget you.
Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh.
 
When you return to your hometown,
And discuss your trip,
Will I be the guy that you put down,
Or someone that you won't forget, no?
 
Farewell my summer love, farewell.
Girl I won't forget you.
Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh.
 
I'll never forget you,
And maybe next year
When you're out of school
You'll return, but until you do, baby;
 
Farewell my summer love, farewell.
Girl I won't forget you.
Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh.
Ooh, farewell, farewell.
Ooh, farewell, farewell.
 
If you remember my name, drop a line sometime.
Farewell my summer love, farewell.
Girl I won't forget you.
Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh.
