verse 1 Parting is such sweet sorrow, Why should it have to be, But if it comes tomorrow Will you remember me. From the time you say goodbye, From the time you say cheerioh, Will you take my handshake true, For your journey as you go, Keep a pray'r within your heart, That the time will surely fly, To the day when we shall meet again, From the time you say goodbye. verse 2 Friendship's a gift from Heaven, To cheer the lonely heart; Mem'ries will always linger, So when we have to part. From the time you say goodbye, From the time you say cheerioh, Will you take my handshake true, For your journey as you go, Keep a pray'r within your heart, That the time will surely fly, To the day when we shall meet again, From the time you say goodbye. From the time you say goodbye, From the time you say cheerioh, Take my fondest thoughts with you, For your journey as you go, Keep a pray'r within your heart, That the time will surely fly, To the day when we shall meet again, From the time you say goodbye.
