Don't Say Good-bye If You Love Me



You tell me today that you're going
Far away just to make you a name
You tell me that you're discontented
And that you are searching for fame
Somehow I can't realize we're parting
I have grown used to having you near
The strings in my heart love are breaking
I just can't say good-bye to you dear



Don't say good-bye if you love me
For it would make my heart overflow
Kiss my lips once 'ere you leave me
Just don't say good-bye when you go



Each night I will kneel by my bedside
I will pray one sweet prayer just for you
I will ask of the kind one in heaven
Just to make all your dreams dear come true
If this love should be our last meeting
I will always love you just the same
I will keep a sweet memory of you
You will live in my heart like a flame
