Lyrics

1. Sweetheart must we say “Goodbye”
   Sweetheart must you go
   Dear, I’ll miss you so, I’ll be blue I know
   And I’ll pray each day for you, it’s for you I’ll grieve
   There is just one last request, sweetheart, ere you leave

Chorus
Don’t forget me all together, save a daily thought for me
Pals we’ve been through stormy weather
Hold me close in memory
When you’re blue and homesick kinder
And your days and nights drag on
Remember here is just a small reminder
“Don’t forget me when you’re gone!”

2. There’s a feeling in my heart, that it’s you I’ll miss
   Miss your tender kiss, life will hold no bliss
   And throughout the days and nights
   You’ll be on my mind
   There’s no ill will dear, from me
   Though I’m left behind
