Sweet melodies Breaking on a sullen ear Will endear And bring memories Sweet melodies Sweet melodies Cross an ancient battlefield Soaring still and claim memories Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye. Sweet melodies At a trembling finger stroke Will evoke A skin memory Sweet melodies Sweet melodies Fade to quiet evening pale And a trail of white memories Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye.
