Sweetheart, good-by!
How quickly to two loving hearts
The ones seem to fly;
Though all unseen, time fast departs,
And, sweetheart, I
Must kiss thee once before I go,
And say good-by!
Sweetheart, good-by!
Oh, love, thy cheeks with tears are wet,
You sadly sigh
That I—I may thee soon forget;
Love, I reply
By kissing such foolish doubts away,
And then good-by!
Sweetheart, good-by!
One last look at thy fair, sweet face—
Nay, do not cry—
One lingering kiss, one sweet embrace.
Then, sweetheart, I
Must part with thee for one long day—
Sweetheart, good-by!
