PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW
(Ray Griff)


Wilma Burgess - 1968


Parting is such sweet sorrow
After all these precious dreams we've realised
Parting is such sweet sorrow
It's hard to keep from being misty eyed

I told you love was not a bed of roses
But you were sure there'd be no thorns for us
You got a taste of hurt that life discloses
And the pain was just a little bit too much

Parting is such sweet sorrow
Look into your heart before that last goodbye
Parting is such sweet sorrow
I still believe we'll make it if we try
