Accompaniment by Fred Feild:
Lyrics
- I won’t sigh, I won’t cry
‘Cause you’ve decided to say “Goodbye”
Since I know we two must part
I won’t let that break my heart
What you do I’ll do, too
What’s fair for one is fair for two
Go on out and have your fun
But after all is said and done
Chorus
Ask me no questions
In a year from now
Ask me no questions
I’ll be happy somehow
If you should leave me
Ever go away and grieve me
Don’t be surprised if you discover
I’ve got another lover
When you come back to me
Ask me no questions
I think you ought to get wise
You’re not the only one
Who makes those eyes
In a year from now
If you come back to me
And a happy man you want to be
Ask me no questions
And I’ll tell you no lies
- In a year, if you hear
Someone is calling me “Honey Dear”
Don’t you ask me to explain
It will only be in vain
After all, you’ll recall
That good old saying, “the world is small”
You can go from place to place
But if you meet me face to face
