Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
Cheerio, here I go on my way.
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay.

Give me a smile
I can keep all the while
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again, you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Though I'm going far away, don't feel so sad at heart,
Keep this lovely moment as a memory apart.
And before I go,
Please whisper soft and low,
Just once for me to hear,
The words, "I love you, dear!".

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
Cheerio, here I go on my way.
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay.

Give me a smile
I can keep all the while
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again, you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Give me a smile
I can keep all the while
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again, you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

WISH ME LUCK AS YOU WAVE ME GOODBYE
as recorded by Elsie Carlisle

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
Cheerio, here I go on my way.
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay.

Give me a smile
I can keep all the while
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again, you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Trains steam out with heavy loads
Upon the iron way.
Motor cars are on the road
Each moment of the day.
Aeroplanes and ships
Are always making trips,
So why should you feel blue
If I should journey too?

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
Cheerio, here I go on my way.
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye,
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay.

Give me a smile
I can keep all the while
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again, you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Give me a smile
I can keep all the while
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again, you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.
