Now Is The Hour (Maori Farewell Song)

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
