Let me tell you a story
‘Bout a boy and a girl
Love in her eyes was his crowning glory
They were each other’s whole world
He knows in his heart he’s bound away
She knew from the start that he couldn’t stay
And so now we say
Farewell, fare-well…
Farewell, farewell, farewell.
Now he’s over the ocean
She’s sitting under their star
Wondering where he’s at this moment
In a place much too far
Now they’re miles apart, too far away
Guilty in part are those who won’t pay
And so now we say
Farewell, fare-well…
Farewell, farewell, farewell.
He realized memento mori
But sent one last bouquet
(She) Opened her eyes to a morning glory
As he was slipping away
She knows in her heart that she is breaking
He knew from the start the chance he was taking
And so now we say
Farewell, fare-well…
Farewell, farewell, farewell.
Maria and I have the tune pretty much down, so that's good... but I need some advice as to some if the lyrics, since that's my area. I don't think a bridge is necessary, but I'll consider it. Also, do you think "Farewell" is a good enough title? Some of the last verse doesn't make too much sense... constructive criticism would be great. :)

I really like it. You obviously get your point across. I don't think that a bridge is needed unless the story has a twist or something along those lines. Farewell is a good idea for a title
[since it is mentioned in the part I'm assuming is the chorus], but you might also want to take the title from another love peom or song, or a line from your lyrics [example: under their star]. Consider my suggestions. Take them or leave them, its still a great song.
Thanx a bunch, Caitlin! :D
