Good-bye

Good-bye

There’s nothing good in a good-bye

No joy, no peace, no song.

For my heart’s aching with the loss

And dawn seems oh so long.

I’ll cherish each fond mem’ry yet

And hope t’will pass the time.

When someday soon we’ll meet again

In an embrace sublime.

Remember me where ‘ere you go

And count my love so true.

When days are dark, my love will shine

And just envelop you.

So carry on—your future bright

Be strong, with courage face—

Conquer your fears and do us proud

You’ve fin’lly found your place.
