ADIOS MY LOVE (The Song Of Athens)
(Hans Bradtke / Nikos Gatsos / Manos Hadjidakis / Norman Newell)

as recorded by Jo Stafford
with Don Costa's Orchestra & Chorus
January 25th 1962 Los Angeles


Adios my love,
I'll always be true;
I'll miss you so, (I'll miss you so)
But this you know, (but this you know)
I'll wait for ever and ever, savin' my love for you!

The rolling tide that brings you to me
Must take you back to roam on the sea,
But as I wait alone on the shore,
You know my love is yours evermore!

Adios my love,
I'll always be true;
I'll miss you so, (I'll miss you so)
But this you know, (but this you know)
I'll wait for ever and ever, savin' my love for you!

Since time began a man had to roam,
A girl must wait to welcome him home,
But every day while you are away,
I'll love you more than words can say!

Adios my love,
I'll always be true;
I'll miss you so, (I'll miss you so)
But this you know, (but this you know)
I'll wait for ever and ever, savin' my love for you!
Adio,
Adio...
