Lyrics | Goodbye Sweetheart Verse: On a ship at night under stars so bright stood two soldiers side by side, And one was dear to a maiden fair and one was a mother’s pride. But the call to go and meet the foe came across the rolling main, And they sailed away at the close of day while their hearts sang this refrain: Refrain: Goodbye dear sweetheart farewell to you. Some day I’ll see you when dreams come true. Tonight I’m sailing somewhere far away, But I’ll be dreaming ever of you, night and day. Verse: Many have to part with an aching heart from the boys they love so well, And though all the while they may bravely smile their thoughts no one can tell. And when their hearts yearn for their boys return from the place that’s far away, Then they’ll sing again the old fond refrain that they sang on that parting day. Refrain |
