Farewell for just awhile,
We're parting with a smile.
Dreams will keep me near you,
Farewell for just awhile.

It's time for us to say
Farewell for just awhile,
For just a little while,
So let's be thankful
That we're parting with a smile;
It's easy when you smile!

I'll miss you so,
But dreams will keep me near you, I know.
We'll meet again;
Farewell for just awhile,
For just a little while.

Farewell for just awhile,
We're parting with a smile.
Dreams will keep me near you,
Farewell for just awhile,
For just a little while.
