Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So long

Hope we'll meet again someday

Hope that maybe then you'll say

Darling, I was wrong

[Verse 2]

So long

Gee, I hate to see you go

You're the world to me now

You've been mine so long

[Verse 3]

All alone with my memories of you

I can see that you're lonely, too

You're my own, even though we're far apart

I will keep you right here in my heart

[Verse 4]

So long

So long

Though you leave me here to cry

This can never ever be goodbye

[Verse 5]

We'll just say so long

Though you leave me here to cry

This can never ever be goodbye

We'll just say so long
