Lyrics
1. I must say Goodbye, dearie don’t you sigh
Brush those tears away, don’t be sad today
I’ll come back to you, with a heart so true
Sweetheart dry those eyes of bonnie blue
Say you’ll always think of me
When I’m far across the sea
Bye-bye dear, it breaks my heart to go
Chorus:
Bye-bye dearie, when your heart grows weary
Dream of me, dearie and I’ll dream of thee
Don’t be sighing, sweetheart stop your crying
Bye-bye dearie, don’t grow weary, I’ll be true
2. Dearie, down the lane we will meet again
As in days of yore, by the schoolhouse door
Where you whispered low, in the long ago
Sweetest words of all “I love you so”
Thro’ the meadows we will roam
Softly humming “Home Sweet Home”
Bye-bye dear, one kiss, then I must go
