Goodbye

Julie London · Other Songs - Julie London

I'll never forget you

I'll never forget you

I'll never forget how we promised one day

To love one another forever that way

We said we'd never say

Good-bye

But that was long ago

Now you've forgotten, I know

No use to wonder why

Let's say farewell with a sigh

Let love die

But we'll go on living

Our own way of living

So you take the high road

And I'll take the low

It's time that we parted

It's much better so

But kiss me as you go

Good-bye
