Ah!

I can't stay
Yes I know
You know I
Hate to go
But goodbye
Love was sweet
I was kind
Never mean
So I'll cry just a little 'cause I love you so
And I'll die just a little 'cause I have to go
Away

Can't you see
How I feel
When I say
Love's unreal
So goodbye
It's been sweet
Even though
Incomplete
So I'll cry just a little 'cause I love you so
And I'll die just a little 'cause I have to go
Away

Every night
I still hear
Oh your sigh's
Very clear
Now it's gone
Gone away
As I once
Heard you say
Now I'll cry just a little 'cause I love you so
And I'll die just a little 'cause I have to go
Away

Ah!

The Beau Brummels

The Beau Brummels was an American rock band. Formed in San Francisco in 1964, the band's original lineup included Sal Valentino (lead vocals), Ron Elliott (lead guitar), Ron Meagher (bass guitar), Declan Mulligan (rhythm guitar, bass, harmonica), and John Petersen (drums). They were discovered by local disc jockeys who were looking to sign acts to their new label, Autumn Records, where Sylvester Stewart—later known as Sly Stone—produced the group's early recording sessions. Initially, the band's musical style blended beat music and folk music and typically drew comparisons to The Beatles, while their later work incorporated other music genres such as psychedelic rock and country rock. more »
