Title: Coins and Goodbye – A Long Yi Production

Description:
In this sequel to Coins and Money, the young man stands at Montreal’s airport gate number nine. With nothing but coins saved from long nights of overtime, he calls the woman he once loved—only to hear she's now with someone else in Chicago. She’s chosen a new life, and he’s left behind with nothing but spare change and fading memories.
“Coins and Goodbye” is a heartfelt ballad of letting go, written in the quiet spaces of airport terminals and lost love. His coins can no longer bridge the distance between them, and the goodbye is as final as the departing flight.
[Verse 1]
Standing here at Montreal's gate number nine
Counting coins I saved up working overtime
Just to call and hear your voice, one more time
But the news you gave me made my spirit pine
You found someone else, halfway down the line
And my chest feels tight when I hear you say
That you're settling down in a brand new way
With someone special waiting in Chi-town

[Chorus]
What's Chicago got that I don't?
What's Chicago got that I can't give?
What's Chicago got that I don't?
Baby, tell me how to live

[Verse 2]
Every penny dropped in payphones far and wide
Every promise made beneath the bridge that night
Now I'm watching planes take off into the sky
While announcement voices echo bye and bye
All these years of saving change to stay in touch
All these miles between us growing way too much
Now you tell me that you've found another love
And my world's dissolving into static buzz

[Chorus]
What's Chicago got that I don't?
What's Chicago got that I can't give?
What's Chicago got that I don't?
Baby, tell me how to live

[Bridge]
Ohhh, the change in my pocket's getting heavy
And my heart's getting lighter with each call I don't make
'Cause you made your choice, and it wasn't me
And these coins can't buy back what's at stake

[Verse 3]
Now I'm standing at departure gate alone
While you're building something new in a midwest home
Guess I'll give these coins to someone on the street
'Cause there's nothing left for me to do but leave
And I wonder as I board my empty flight
If you ever count the change on lonely nights
But I know the answer's clear as day can be
You found what you wanted in the Windy City

[Chorus]
What's Chicago got that I don't?
What's Chicago got that I can't give?
What's Chicago got that I don't?
(Baby, tell me how to live)
