Lyrics
Goodbye, sweetheart, goodbye
While shadows fall on land and sea
Goodbye, sweetheart, goodbye
I must go far from thee
Sadly the nightwind sighs
Sighs for the parting soon to be
While in thy tender eyes, love
Sweet tears glisten there for me
Hark! while the old church bell’s ringing
Hark! while the nightingale’s singing
Peace to our hearts they’re bringing
Goodbye, sweetheart, goodbye
Hush, my beloved, don’t cry
Though summer dies ’tis not in vain
Joys from the days gone by
In our dreams will return again
Promise to doubt me never
My love for thee lives forever
Faithful and true, I’ll return to you
Goodbye, sweetheart, goodbye
