American Old Time Song Lyrics: 28 Good Bye, Sweetheart, Good Bye
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 28
Good-bye, Sweetheart, Good-bye.
The bright stars fade, the morn is breaking,
The dew-drops pearl each bud And leaf,
And I from thee my leave am taking.
With bliss too brief, with bliss, with bliss too brief.
How sinks my heart with fond alarms-
The tear is hiding in mine eye,
For time doth thrust me from thine armsÂGood-bye, sweetheart, good-bye! Good-bye, sweetheart, good-bye!
For time "doth thrust me from thine armsÂGood-bye, sweetheart, good-bye!
The sun is up, the lark is soaring.
Loud swells the song of Chanticleer;
The leveret bounds o'er earth's soft flooring.
Yet I am here, yet I am, yet I am here.
For since night's gems from heaven did fade,
And morn to floral lips doth lie,
I could not leave thee, though I said:
"Good-bye, sweetheart, good-bye! Good-bye. sweetheart, good-bye."
I could not leave thee, though I said:
"Good-bye, sweetheart, good bye."
