Goodbye Medley

Good-byee! Good-byee
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee.
Tho' it's hard to part, I know,
I'll be tickled to death to go.
Don't cry-ee! Don't sigh-ee!
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee.
Bonsoir, old thing! Cheerio! Chin-chin!
Nah-poo! Toodle-oo! Good-byee!

Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
Had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to my head.
Where-ever I may roam,
On land, or sea, or foam,
You can always hear my singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say “cuckoo”, “cuckoo”, “cuckoo”
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye ... to you!

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!

I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye!

Goodnight sweetheart,
All my pray'rs are for you,
Goodnight sweetheart,
I'll be watching o'er you,
Tears and parting may make us forlorn
But with the dawn, a new day is born.

So we’ll say, Goodnight sweetheart,
Sleep will banish sorrow,
Goodnight sweetheart,
Till we meet tomorrow,
All your sadness, soon will turn to gladness,
Goodnight sweetheart, goodnight.

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Those were the days, oh, yes those were the days

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
