[Intro: Mike Sabath]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1: RAYE]
This is a sad song
Though it feels happy
It is not happy at all
In fact, it makes me so, so sad to sing this song
But I'll sing it for you anyway
This song is called "Goodbye Henry."
And I wrote it 'bout a boy
A very lovely boy
And his name isn't even Henry
But I'm just tryna be respectful
We don't talk anymore
He could be next-door and I wouldn't even know
In another life we could have made it
But in this one, well, we let go

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
And I remember last time I seen him
It was a devastating day
At the railway tavern my local
And we had no words to say
So I sipped my gin in silencе
And I kissed the man goodbye
And wе dried each other's tears
And I told him, "Henry

[Chorus: RAYE]
Oh, I wish you only love (Only love)
And happiness (Happiness)"
And I swallow my tears
As I'm watching you drive away
Through my window
I don't want you to go
How could I baby? Oh-oh
I do hope you'll try your best
And you'll drink a little less
Let's pretend, Henry, that maybe one day
We could try again
Don't forget me (Forget me) or regret me (Regret me)
I tell him "Goodbye, Henry"

[Verse 2: RAYE]
I told you this was a sad song
I did try to warn you, in case you relate
In case your sorry heart is also breaking
In case you're driving to work and every bloody left turn you take
Just so happens to be down memory lane
And it's that pain, the aching kind
Had high hopes for me and Henry
I really did
In another life I'd wear his ring and we'd have three beautiful children
And it hurts to never see him
But the world still turns 'round
So I squeezed his lovely hand so tight and I told him

[Chorus: RAYE]
"Oh, I wish you only love (Only love)
And happiness (Happiness)"
And I swallow my tears
As I'm watching you drive away
Through my window
I don't want you to go
How could I, baby? (I'm in love with you) Oh-oh (I'm in love)
I do hope you'll try your best
And you'll drink a little less
And who knows, Henry?
That maybe one day we could try again
Don't forget me (Forget me) or regret me (Regret me)
I tell him, "Goodbye, Henry"

[Interlude: RAYE]
I told you this was a sad song
But it is my pleasure
To say that all the way from Memphis, Tennessee put your hands together
Ladies and gentlemen
For Al Green

[Bridge: Al Green, RAYE]
Hello, how are you? I hope you are well
It's nice to be on a microphone with a story to tell
I think of all the memories
Some bitter, some sweet
The people I've loved, the people I'll never get to greet
These heartaches don't get easier (Easier)
Pains of losing love (Losing love)
Time will help the healing
And Christ that's up above
Sometimes in life we have to say goodbye
Tears falling from our eyes
I pray it won't hurt like it does, tonight is ours

[Chorus: RAYE]
As I wish 'em only love
And happiness
I'm swallowing tears
Oh-oh (As I watching you drive away)
Yeah, yeah (Through my window)
I don't want you to go
How could I, baby? Oh-oh (Oh)
I do hope you'll try your best
And you'll drink a little less
And who knows, Henry?
That maybe one day we could try again
Don't forget me (Forget me) or regret me (Regret me)
Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, no (I'm in love with you)
I hope
Wherever he is
He's happy, he's safe
And he's oh so over this, though I'm
Still in love, still in love, still in love with him
Don't forget or regret
Oh not yet, love
I hope
Wherever he is
He's happy, he's safe
And he's oh so over this, though I'm
Still in love, still in love, still in love with him
(Still)

[Outro: RAYE]
And I guess sometimes that's just how it goes
Sometimes love sticks around
And sometimes love hits the road
And as I watch Henry drive out of my life
I warned you, dear listener, didn't I?
When I told you this is a sad, sad, sad song
Drop it here (Hahahaha)
Brooksy can't see me
