Producer: Fonce Mizell Freddie Perren

[Chorus]
Ooh, farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won't forget you
Farewell, my summer love, farewell, ooh

[Verse 1]
I found my happiest days
When you came to see your grandma in May
I bumped into you at the corner store
I told you that you sure looked good, now
Your grandma's house was next to mine
We were together most of the time
But summer's gotten away from us
Time's moving too fast for us
Bye-bye, don't turn around
'Cause you might see me cry

[Chorus]
Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won't forget you
Farewell, my summer love, farewell, ooh yeah

[Verse 2]
When you return to your hometown
And you discuss your trip
Will I be the guy that you put down
Or someone that you don't forget? No
I'll never forget you
And maybe next year when you're out of school
You'll return, but until you do, baby
Bye-bye, don't turn around
You might see me cry

[Chorus]
Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won't forget you
Farewell, my summer love, farewell, yeah

[Bridge]
Ooh, farewell, farewell
Ooh, farewell, farewell
If you remember my name (Drop a line)
Drop a line sometime, yeah, yeah, ooh
Girl, I won't forget you
Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won't forget you

[Verse 2 repeated]
When you return to your hometown
And you discuss your trip
Will I be the guy that you put down
Or someone that you don't forget? No
I'll never forget you
And maybe next year when you're out of school
You'll return, but until you do, baby
Bye-bye, don't turn around
You might see me cry

[Chorus]
Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh yeah
Farewell, my summer love, farewell, yeah, oh yeah
Farewell, my summer love, farewell, farewell yeah, yeah, yeah
Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won't forget you
Farewell, my summer love, farewell

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
