Lyrics
1. Goodbye, Sweetheart! Goodbye, forever!
I will be sad, when you’re away
Who would have thought our lives would sever?
But, ere you go, tell me I pray
Chorus
Why did you make me love you
If you were not for me?
Why did you make me love you
If it was not to be?
Why did you let me dream
That we’d never, never part
Why did you make me love you?
Why did you break my heart?
2. When you are gone, I will regret you
My love still lives, and always will
And oft I’ll be where first I met you
In Mem’ry Land, wondering still
