So Long - 1940

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 03 Sept 2001

Our love has seen you through its doorway
you're going your way
I'm left behind.
And tho' I hope you'll be contented
you'll be lamented
and on my mind:

So long
hope we'll meet again some day
hope that maybe then you'll say
'Darling I was wrong.'
So long
Gee! I hate to see you go
you're the world to me, you know
You've been mine so long.
All alone with my memories of you
I can dream that you're lonely too
you're my own
even tho' we're far apart
I will keep you right here in my heart.
So long
tho' you leave me here to cry
it can never be 'goodbye'
we'll just say so long.

So long
hope we'll meet again some day
hope that maybe then you'll say
'Darling I was wrong.'
So long
Gee! I hate to see you go
you're the world to me, you know
You've been mine so long.
All alone with my memories of you
I can dream that you're lonely too
you're my own
even tho' we're far apart
I will keep you right here in my heart.
So long
tho' you leave me here to cry
it can never be 'goodbye'
we'll just say so long.

Just say we're taking
diff'rent highways
they're not 'goodbye' ways
that couldn't be.
Just say
you think you've found a new love
as for your true love
that's always me:

So long
hope we'll meet again some day
hope that maybe then you'll say
'Darling I was wrong.'
So long
Gee! I hate to see you go
you're the world to me, you know
You've been mine so long.
All alone with my memories of you
I can dream that you're lonely too
you're my own
even tho' we're far apart
I will keep you right here in my heart.
So long
tho' you leave me here to cry
it can never be 'goodbye'
we'll just say so long.

So long
hope we'll meet again some day
hope that maybe then you'll say
'Darling I was wrong.'
So long
Gee! I hate to see you go
you're the world to me, you know
You've been mine so long.
All alone with my memories of you
I can dream that you're lonely too
you're my own
even tho' we're far apart
I will keep you right here in my heart.
So long
tho' you leave me here to cry
it can never be 'goodbye'
we'll just say so long.
