Where You Played For Love (Farewell to Juan Mata)

Despite leaving the Blues, Juan Mata will always be one of my favorite Chelsea players and an all around gentleman. I look forward to watching him play in the 2014 World Cup and hope to see him come home to London someday. 

(to the tune of What I Did for Love from A Chorus Line)

Kiss the Blues goodbye
The glory and the sorrow
Wish us luck the same to you
And remember us
Friends and fans who love
Chelsea Football Club.

Though we wonder why
Your gift was just to borrow
We know that your heart was true
You'd be welcome back
To renew your love
Of Chelsea Football Club.

Juan
With the cups you've won
Two years' praise you've drawn
As our favorite player
Kiss the Bridge goodbye
Old Trafford looms tomorrow
You did what you had to do

Don't forget
Don't regret
Friends and fans who love
Chelsea Football Club -
Where you played for love.

With the cups you've won
Two years' praise you've drawn
As our favorite player
Kiss the Bridge goodbye
Old Trafford looms tomorrow
You did what you had to do

Don't forget
Don't regret
Where you played for love.
All our thanks and love,
Chelsea Football Club.
