They tell me today you are going
Far away just to make you a name
They tell me that you’re discontented
And that you are search-ing for fame
Don’t say goodbye if you love me
For ‘twould make my heart overflow
Kiss my lips once ere you leave me
Just don’t say goodbye when you go
Somehow I can’t realize we’re parting
I have grown used to having you near
The strings in my heart love are breakin’
I just can’t say good-bye to you dear
Each night as I kneel by my bedside
I will pray one sweet prayer for just for you
I will ask of the kind one in heaven
Just to make all your dreams dear come true
