Now is the hour

When we must say goodbye.

Soon you'll be sailing

Far across the sea.



While you're away

Oh, then, remember me.

When you return

You'll find me waiting here.



Sunset glow fades in the west.

Night o'er the valley is creeping.

Birds cuddle down in their nest

Soon all the world will be sleeping.



Now is the hour

When we must goodbye.

Soon you'll be sailing

Far across the sea.



While you're away

Oh, then, remember me.

When you return

You'll find me waiting here
