Goodbye, My Lady Love

So you're going away Because your heart has gone astray And you promised me That you would always faithful be Go to him, my love And be as true as stars above But your heart will yearn And then some day you will return Goodbye, my lady love, farewell my sweet child You are the idol and darling of my heart But someday you will come back to me And love me tenderly Goodbye, my lady love, goodbye Though I smile as you walk away There’s a breaking I cannot say Every dream we once held so tight Fades like shadows into the night If his arms should fail you, dear You’ll remember I’m still here With a love that will not die Waiting ‘neath the same old sky When the dew-drops fall 'Tis then your heart, I know, will call So beware, my dove Don't trust your life to some false love But if you must go Remember, dear, I love you so Sure as stars do shine You'll think of when I called you mine Goodbye, my lady love, farewell my sweet child You are the idol and darling of my heart But someday you will come back to me And love me tenderly Goodbye, my lady love, goodbye Goodbye, my lady love, goodbye
