Good-Bye

lyricist: Johnson Oatman, 1898
Composer: George Hugg

These scenes so bright

now take their flight

As birds in sum­mer seem to fly;

Again we stand with part­ing hand

Goodbye

good­bye

good­bye.

Goodbye

good­bye

we breathe a sigh

We say fare­well with tear-dimmed eye;

God bless you all

God keep you all

Goodbye

good­bye

good­bye.

As oft we meet

and dear ones greet

Heart speaks to heart and eye to eye;

Time speeds away

and soon we say

Goodbye

good­bye

good­bye.

Sometime we’ll meet

some­time we’ll greet

Each oth­er in that land on high;

There we will stay

and nev­er say

Goodbye

good­bye

good­bye.
