Lyrics
1. There was a night not long ago
We heard a song ‘neath the moon
How could you tell, how could I know
Love songs must end all too soon
Refrain:
Love, the hour of parting is near
And in my heart I can hear
The song we heard when I met you
Love, it was a night of romance
That all began with a dance
I never will forget, a dreamy tango
I still hear them playing
Tango they played while we two were saying
“Love, we know that love cannot die”
But now we’re saying, “Good-bye”
The parting hour is here
2. There was a kiss, there was a sigh
One perfect moment we knew
I can’t believe this is good-bye
Some how I’ll still be with you
