Lyrics
I Wish I had Someone to Say “Good-Bye” To Verse: I always was glad that I was single I used to laugh at married men But now that I’ve got my chance to mingle I find myself regretting Find myself a-fretting: Refrain: I wish I had someone to say “good-bye” to I wish I had someone to care a care I wish I had someone whom I could cry to, Some little one for whom I’d dare a dare, I’d like to be wished good luck on my journey Before I take my trip across the sea I wish I had a miss Who would spare a little kiss And say “good-bye” to me. Verse: I wouldn’t feel half so bad at leaving It wouldn’t seem so hard to go If I could feel someone would be grieving That some fond heart was yearning Just for my returning: Refrain
