Goodbye, Rafa!

 Sing to the tune of Goodbye my friend by Linda Ronstadt



Oh we never know where sport will take us

I know it won’t always be cool

And we never know when someone will leave us

And I know I will feel like a fool.

So farewell dear Rafa

I know I’ll never see you again

But the memories and the vast archive

Will help us survive

It’s NOT OK but still

Farewell dear Rafa

I knew this day was coming around

And I still held my ground

I could have switched to Nole or Carlos

Well, maybe…

But it won’t be the same you know

So farewell dear Rafa

I know I’ll never see you again

        But the memories and the vast archive

Will help us survive

Hence it is really a

Farewell dear Rafa

Sport is pure and Tennis is sublime

Wanting you forever is not a crime

We watch the impostors thrive

And we understand why

It’s really NOT OK

Still farewell dear Rafa

We can’t go on now

Still farewell dear Rafa.
