From The Time We Say Goodbye

By the time you say goodbye

By the time you say cheerio

We'll take a handshake through

On your journey as you go

Keep a pray'r within your heart

That the time will surely fly

To the day when we shall meet again

By the time you say goodbye



Hmmm.....



Yes listeners, we have been coming to you

Live on a crystal ballroom high above the Hotel Jamestown

In picturesque western new york

As your program draws to a close

It gives me profound pleasure to say cheerio

To the strains of Miss Natalie Merchant and her choir

And so now it only remains for me to say... goodnight



By the time you say goodbye

By the time you say cheerio

We'll take a handshake through

On your journey as you go

Keep a pray'r within your heart

That the time will surely fly

To the day when we shall meet again

By the time you say goodbye
