the sayonara monologue

Hello Samansa,
So i decided to record your song and put it on youtube because it's a bit long and if i recorded it i wouldn't have to worry about messing up (though i did a bit- but it was my 4th attempt and it was at the very end...) anyway, I will write out a copy of the lyrics of course and give you a live performance, but this way you also get the studio recording experience...
anyhoo, here are the lyrics:

The Sayonara Monologue

Hello Samansa
I started this song many months ago and it has really been a process for me to deal with the fact that you are leaving...i'd like to start by saying that my feelings would be most appropriately expressed if michael jackson was singing this song for you, but he is not longer with us, so i will try my best.

When i first heard you were leaving, i didn't want to accept it... I imagined you getting on a plane back to Australia and I just wanted to tell you to...

TURN AROUND Every now and then I feel the pain in my heart when I imagine starbucks without you

TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit scared thinking Ill have to go to beckas lifegroup (just kidding)




TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit nervous Wondering who will cut my hair when youre gone

TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit terrified That Ill have to go to ikea alone

TURN AROUND, SAMANSA Every now and then I fall apart.

TURN AROUND, SAMANSA Every now and then I fall apart. And Ill miss you when youre gone but Ill wont forget what you taught me That a flipflop is a thong and pumpkin soup is mecha oishii And whenever I see fat men Ill remember when we went to sumo And they picked you up and your dream came true. It really was an honour to share that with you. Ill really miss you tonight, and every other Wednesday night, Our lifegroup was on Wednesday night.
Once upon a time I was just a Canadian now Ive got some Oz in my life
There's nothing I can do, samansa bye bye.
Once upon a time I didnt know where Perth was, now I wanna go there someday
Nothing I can say, samansa bye bye


and finally i realized there were things you had to do in australia... and i wondered about the future:

(Tears in Heaven)
Would you know my name if i saw you in Australia?
Would it be the same if i saw you in australia?
i must be strong and carry on cuz i know i don't belong in australia

But I do plan to visit soon. And Im really glad I was in your life group (even if I did join because I thought you were in a USJ production) and I really wanna say thank you for all those times you invited me to hang out and were there to say something encouraging or pray for me inspire me to know God more. I decided to try Tims approach to writing original songsIm not sure whyforgive me

Samansa the danser (pronounced the aussie way)
Samansa...does not have cancer...that's good
But samansa is going back to Australia
So this is my last chance ato say

Thank you (x alot)


And Im really happy that we got to be friends in japan because Ive learned heaps from you and things are just gonna keep getting better for both of us! So Id like to express my final sentiments in the language at which we are both pera pera (other than Chinese)

Osakanoseikatsuwa itsumo tanoshiyo
Mainichi samansa to iroiro asobimashita
Imakara wasuretenai Canadamo kitte kudasai
Tonari dooshi anata to atashi takoyakiyo
(Yeiy and mo ikai)

Translation:
My life in Osaka was always fun
Because I could hang out with Samansa a lot (everyday)
From now dont forget to come to Canada
You and I are like two takoyakisyo!
