lyrics

Hello, Maureen. What d’you fancy doing today?
Sky’s blue; sea’s green:
would you like to sail away?
Would you like to sail away?

Don’t count the cost: everything you see today
will soon be lost. Memories, alone, will stay.
Would you like to fade away;
yes really fade away to heaven?
Really fade away to heaven…
Fade away, Maureen.

Her mother doesn’t know
the way her daughter’s thinking,
and all the love she freely gives is wasted.
She never lets it show,
and though her hopes are sinking,
she’s always there to lend a hand,
and all the time she tries to understand…

Hello, Maureen. What d’you fancy doing today?
Sky’s blue; sea’s green:
would you like to sail away?
Would you like to sail away?

Goodbye, Maureen.
Happy now the choice is made.
Enjoy your dream.
Glad to see you made the grade.
I’ll say a prayer as you fade away,
yes, really fade away to heaven.
Really fade away to heaven…
Fade away, Maureen…..
