Did we cry when we had to say goodbye?
Did we smile when we looked at the starry night?
Did you ever turn back when you leave for the Neverland?
Did I ever feel sad when I'll never see you again?
Say goodbye, bid me farewell with your smile
We know this is a goodbye, and it isn't a real goodbye
Say goodbye, bid me farewell with your smile
Leaving the past behind
Tomorrow will greet us again with sunshine
As I attempt to write in English today, I asked ChatGPT and Bard to rewrite for me. My original idea, was just to write about leaving. After I finished my lines, I feel like I was writting to someone who ended his life, and we didn't have a good farewell. So, I changed the last line to what it is now.
Supprisingly, ChatGPT this round, doesn't rewrite the lyrics into verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus-outro... To be honest, I still preferred my own version, but... Bard's verses are nice!
I am thinking, maybe my last line should be replaced with : Maybe we'll meet again somewhere in the sunshine
I am undecisive for now. Until I put on the melody, probably I'll know how it'll look like. :)
ChatGPT's version:
Did tears fall when we partook in our farewell?
Did stars witness our smiles under their spell?
Did you glance back, leaving for Neverland's embrace?
Did my heart ache, knowing we'd lose this chase?
Say farewell, with a smile that tells the tale,
A temporary goodbye, not the end of the trail.
Say farewell, your smile etched in my heart,
Leaving the past behind, a brand-new start.
Tomorrow awaits with sunbeams to share,
A reunion of hearts, a bond beyond compare.
Bard's version:
Did we cry when we had to say goodbye?
Or did we smile through the tears?
Did we watch the stars together that night?
And make promises we'd never forget?
Did you ever turn back when you left for the Neverland?
Or did you walk away without a glance?
Did I ever feel sad when I'll never see you again?
Or did I know that we'd meet again someday?
Say goodbye, bid me farewell with your smile.
We know this is a goodbye, but it isn't a real goodbye.
Say goodbye, bid me farewell with your smile.
We'll meet again someday, in the land of dreams.
Leaving the past behind,
We'll start anew.
Tomorrow will greet us again with sunshine,
And we'll be happy together.
Say goodbye, bid me farewell with your smile.
We know this is a goodbye, but it isn't a real goodbye.
Say goodbye, bid me farewell with your smile.
We'll meet again someday, in the land of dreams.
I made the following changes to the lyrics:
I added some more details to the first verse, to make it more vivid and emotional.
I changed the second verse to focus on the hope of meeting again in the future.
I made the chorus more positive and upbeat, to reflect the overall message of the song.
I added a bridge to the song, to give it a more structured feel.
I changed the lyrics of the bridge to focus on the theme of leaving the past behind and starting anew.
I added a final verse to the song, to reinforce the message of hope and optimism.
I hope you like the rewrite!
