Lyrics
1. Just a tear-dimmed eye
Just a tender sigh
Just a little sadness and yearning
Dearest one don’t cry
When we kiss good-bye
I’ll return with all my love still burning
CHORUS
Just a good-bye kiss sweetheart
Just a kiss before we part
We may never meet again
Still I’ll always love you
Sweetest of my souvenirs
I will cherish thru the years
For you gave your heart with this
Your good-bye kiss
2. How the pulse will throb
And the heart will sob
Lips in pain frame word never spoken
Let me hold you near
Let me kiss you dear
I must go so give me this one token
