Say Goodbye To Hollywood - Billy Joel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47PtUvHIQpk

Bobby's driving through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lover in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

[Chorus]
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby

Johnny's taking care of things for awhile
And his style is so right for troubadors
They got him sitting with his back to the door
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore

[Chorus]
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby

[Bridge]
Moving on is a chance that you take every time you try to stay
Together
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever

[Verse 3]
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

[Chorus]
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby

[Bridge]
Moving on is a chance that you take every time you try to stay
Together
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever

[Verse 3]
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

[Chorus]
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby

高校生のころ、この曲の "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes. I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again." というフレーズが好きでした。でもいま考えてみたら "Hello, hello, hello, hello, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.... That's all there is." とか、「勧 君 金 屈 卮、満 酌 不 須 辞、花 発 多 風 雨、人 生 足 別 離」とか。古今東西を問わず、似たような言い回しばかりですね。。

ところで、いまは意外と「関係」って続くもんです。今月末にまた高校生の頃の友人と会います。SNS様々です。
