I watched a lonely bird of passage Fly across the evening sky, And all at once I felt such sadness I had to struggle not to cry. You are leaving; you are leaving; I’ll never know the reason why, But the best and brightest of us Had to be the first to say goodbye. Sail away, old friend, Sail away, old friend, Sail away, but I keep thinking One fine day we all will meet again. And all the memories keep repeating As I watch the shadows grow – The twist of fate that had us meeting All those many years ago. Now you’re leaving; you are leaving And it's a hard and bitter blow That the best and brightest of us Had to be the first of us to go. Sail away, old friend, Sail away, old friend, Sail away, but I'll keep thinking One fine day we all will meet again. |
