Composer: | Geo. C. Hugg |
1 These scenes, so bright, now take their flight
As birds in summer seem to fly;
Again we stand with parting hand,
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye.
Chorus:
Good-bye, good-bye, we breathe a sigh,
We say farewell with tear-dimmed eye;
God bless you all, God keep you all,
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye.
2 As oft we meet, and dear ones greet,
Heart speaks to heart and eye to eye;
Time speeds away, and soon we say,
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye. [Chorus]
3 Sometime we'll meet, sometime we'll greet,
Each other in that land on high;
There we will stay, and never say,
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye. [Chorus]
