Do Not Say Good-Bye 1915

You ask me why I feel so blue,
you ask me why I cry.
You ask me why I look so sad,
You ask me why I sigh.
You made me love you more and more,
and now that we must part,
The sun shine leaves,
the sorrow comes
into my breaking heart.

Don't say goodbye dear,
Please don't go away.
I feel so lonesome,
I want you to stay, my dearie.
When I am lonely,
That's the time I sigh,
I want you only,
So do not say goodbye!

I knew that sometime you would go,
and leave me all alone.
I hoped in vain that you might stay,
and never, never roam.
And though you promise to return,
I know that you'll not find
The broken heart,
the shattered life,
that once you left behind.

Don't say goodbye dear,
Please don't go away.
I feel so lonesome,
I want you to stay, my dearie.
When I am lonely,
That's the time I sigh,
I want you only,
So do not say goodbye!
