Lyrics |
There are many, many ways to say goodbye.
How do you say adieu?
In the movies they linger on a kiss;
When you're married it's easily dismissed.
On the campus they've a different little twist.
But this is how I like to say goodnight.
G'bye now, g'bye now,
I thought the party was divine.
I spent the evening forgetting the time;
I can't deny, but now g'bye.
G'bye now, g'bye now,
The trip by taxi wasn't far,
We'd linger longer if we had a car.
No use to cry, and now g'bye.
There's one advantage to our leaving;
It brings about a special kiss
I hope this will be eternally,
A momentary parting,
Just a second, then we're starting.
So g'bye now, g'bye now.
It's just a moment we're apart.
To make it certain, I'll leave you my heart.
But for now,
G'bye now.
There's one advantage to our leaving;
It brings about a special kiss
I hope this will be eternally,
A momentary parting,
Just a second, then we're starting.
So g'bye now, g'bye now.
It's just a moment we're apart.
To make it certain, I'll leave you my heart.
But for now,
G'bye now. |
G'BYE NOW from the Broadway show, New Hellzapoppin of 1941, Broadcars Music Inc., 1940. Words and Music by Olsen and Johnson, Jay Levison (Livingston) and Ray Evans (Commercial Score) |
