You tell me today that you're going

Far away just to make you a name

You tell me that you're discontented

And that you are searching for fame

Somehow I can't realize we're parting

I have grown used to having you near

The strings in my heart love are breaking

I just can't say good-bye to you dear

Chorus:

Don't say good-bye if you love me

For it would make my heart overflow

Kiss my lips once 'ere you leave me

Just don't say good-bye when you go

Each night I will kneel by my bedside

I will pray one sweet prayer just for you

I will ask of the kind one in heaven

Just to make all your dreams dear come true

If this love should be our last meeting

I will always love you just the same

I will keep a sweet memory of you

You will live in my heart like a flame

Chorus:

Don't step over an old love..
