One Last Time歌词:
Mr President you asked to see me
I know you're busy
What do you need sir
Sir
I wanna give you a word of warning
Sir I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is Jefferson started it
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
You're kidding
I need a favor
Whatever you say sir Jefferson will pay for his behavior
Shh talk less
I'll use the press
I'll write under a pseudonym you'll see what I can do to him
I need you to draft an address
Yes he resigned
You can finally speak your mind
No he's stepping down so he can run for President
Ha Good luck defeating you sir
I'm stepping down I'm not running for President
I'm sorry what
One last time
Relax have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
No sir why
I wanna talk about neutrality
Sir with Britain and France on the verge of war is this the best time
I want to warn against partisan fighting
But
Pick up a pen start writing
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earned
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve you could continue to serve
No one last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're gonna teach 'em how to say
Goodbye
You and I
Mr President they will say you're weak
No they will see we're strong
Your position is so unique
So I'll use it to move them along
Why do you have to say goodbye
If I say goodbye the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I'm gone
Like the scripture says
Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time
One last time
Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration
I am unconscious of intentional error
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not
To think it probable that I may have committed many errors
I shall also carry with me
The hope
That my country will
View them with indulgence
And that
After forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
The faults of incompetent abilities will be
Consigned to oblivion as I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which
I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking
In the midst of my fellow-citizens
The benign influence of good laws
Under a free government the ever-favorite object of my heart
And the happy reward as I trust
Of our mutual cares labors and dangers
One last time
George Washington's going home
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
George Washington's going home
You and I
George Washington's going home
Going home
George Washington's going home
History has its eyes on you
George Washington's going home
We're gonna teach 'em how to
Say goodbye
Teach 'em how to
Say goodbye
To say goodbye
Say goodbye
One last time
