Never Say Goodbye 1943 'The Lisbon Story'

James Pirtt-Payne, London UK - 25 May 2004

Hearts in confusion
must always cherish the one illusion
of a sweeter dream,
of a brighter day,
of a lovely lost horizon not so far away.
Sad tho' the parting that today may bring,
born of the memories to which we cling,
new joy and laughter will bloom again
and again long after.
In another spring when the world is gay,
in the sunshine of a garden
we shall find some day.

The dreams we borrow
may fade tomorrow
and leave sweet sorrow
but we must never say goodbye.
The stars we're under
may lose their wonder
and drift asunder,
but we must never say goodbye;
leave the final word unspoken
altho' we part;
keep the melody unbroken in your heart.
Time may be mending
and fate be sending
a happy ending,
but we must never say goodbye.

The dreams we borrow
may fade tomorrow
and leave sweet sorrow
but we must never say goodbye.
The stars we're under
may lose their wonder
and drift asunder,
but we must never say goodbye;
leave the final word unspoken
altho' we part;
keep the melody unbroken in your heart.
Time may be mending
and fate be sending
a happy ending,
but we must never say goodbye.
Never say Goodbye.
