Bye, bye, my friend, I'm leaving I'm gonna feast on the stars in the sky And while I be gone, don't stop dreaming And don't be sad and don't cry 'Cause lazy days and sunny rays will guide me Back home to where I belong If God gives me grace, then He will find me a space And I hope I'll be singing this song Don't stop being happy Don't stop your clapping Don't stop your laughing Take a piece of life, it's alright To hold back the night Lazy days and sunny rays will guide me Back home to where I belong If God gives me grace, then He will find me a space And I hope I'll be singing this song Don't stop being happy Don't stop your clapping Don't stop your laughing Take a piece of life, it's alright To hold back the night From time to time, though we're whole worlds apart You will still hold a groove in my heart From time to time, we will fall side by side You'll still have that look in your eye Don't stop being happy Don't stop your clapping Don't stop your laughing Don't stop your laughing Don't stop your laughing Don't stop your laughing Don't stop your laughing Take a piece of life, it's alright To hold back the night It's alright To hold back the night It's alright To hold back the night
