"Goodbye, My Love" from Ragtime


"You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering." --Harold Hill from The Music Man

The Goodbye songs from SPELLING BEE! They're outstanding.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Does "Goodbye" from the Producer's count?
...other than that, I'm going to have to agree with For Good.

I'm not sure if it's a goodbye song, but "I guess I'll miss the man" from pippin is nice.

What about "Y'all Got it?" from the Wiz?

1. Ted Allen: Everyone has an interesting life if you ask the right questions.
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

I think this is technically a goodbye song, although it's up for debate-- "The Last Midnight" from Into the Woods. Oh, and maybe "No More."

Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.

I know! I just got the DVD, so I basically cry for those ten to fifteen minutes straight. I don't know if I've seen those scenes clearly yet; my eyes are usually cloudy.

Oooh! How about "Without You" from My Fair Lady!!! Not one of your git-wrenching goodbye songs...more like an F-you goodbye song, but still goodbye and still fab.

ONCE BEFORE I GO...
I want you to know
That I would do it all again
I'm sure I'd make the same mistakes
But I could make it through
The pains and joys and aches
I knew back then
I'd do it all
I'd do it all again.

Can you imagine hearing this at the closing performance of THE BOY FROM OZ? It wasn't just the show's eleven o'clock number ( which drew regular pre-finale standing ovations during the run) but it changed character on that last day - it changed to one of Hugh Jackman saying goodbye to Broadway ( hopefully, not forever). But it was very poignant at that moment and brought a wave of such sadness at the Imperial!
