Now, the hour of parting is near
And in my heart I can hear
The song we heard when I met you


Love, it was a night of romance
That all began with a dance
I never will forget


A dreamy tango, I still hear them playing
Tango they played while we two were saying


Love, we know that love cannot die
But now we're saying "Goodbye"
The parting hour is here
