verse 1 Parting is such sweet sorrow, Why should it have to be, But if it comes tomorrow Will you remember me. From the time you say goodbye, E+ From the time you say cheerioh, Will you take my handshake true, For your journey as you go, Keep a pray'r within your heart, E+ That the time will surely fly, To the day when we shall meet again, From the time you say goodbye. verse 2 Friendship's a gift from Heaven, To cheer the lonely heart; Mem'ries will always linger, So when we have to part. From the time you say goodbye, E+ From the time you say cheerioh, Will you take my handshake true, For your journey as you go, Keep a pray'r within your heart, E+ That the time will surely fly, To the day when we shall meet again, From the time you say goodbye. From the time you say goodbye, E+ From the time you say cheerioh, Take my fondest thoughts with you, For your journey as you go, Keep a pray'r within your heart, E+ That the time will surely fly, To the day when we shall meet again, From the time you say goodbye.
