Lift your head and dry your tears, for our parting time is near
Just a kiss to cheer our hearts before we're gone
Well, you know it's hard to say, but it has to be that way
We'll never say goodbye, just say so long.
We'll never say goodbye, little darling
And I hope you'll say the same when I have gone
Just one more kiss and let me hold your hand, Dear
We'll never say goodbye, just say so long.
I remember times when tots like two kids we were full of thoughts
To join our hands so young we knew was wrong
Now that years have pa**ed away, I regret these words to say,
We'll never say goodbye, just say so long.
