Well it's almost over, but please don't cry
And I'll be gone forever more, say goodbye
They will tell you to carry on
And that you mustn't tarry on and
They're gonna say you cannot cry every day
And that you're gonna let it fade away
Well I'm sorry if it doesn't work that way
Well I always feel like dying
And it makes me cry, 'cause I'll be gone forever more
Don't want to say goodbye
And now they're telling me I've got to carry on
And I mustn't tarry on and
They're trying to say I cannot cry every day and
That I have to let it fade away
Well I'm sorry, it isn't working that way
But now, it's over, please don't cry
Yes I am gone forever more, say goodbye
