Good-Bye My Lady Love

So you're going away
Because your heart has gone astray,
And you promised me
That you would always faithful be.
Go to him you love,
And be as true as stars above;
But your heart will yearn,
And then some day you will return.
Chorus:
Good bye, my lady love,
Farewell, my turtle-dove,
You are the idol and darling of my heart,
But someday you will come back to me,
And love me tenderly,
So good bye, my lady love, good bye.
When the dew-drops fall,
'Tis then your heart, I know, will call.
So be ware, my dove,
Don't trust your life to some false love.
But if you must go,
Remember, dear, I love you so,
Sure as stars do shine,
You'll think of when I called you mine,
(Chorus)
