WE WON'T SAY GOODBYE
(Musel / Bruhn)

as recorded by The Kaye Sisters


For no matter where you wander
And no matter what you do,
Till the day that you return,
I'll be waiting here for you!

You have to go away, dear,
For many a day, dear.
Now comes the hour of parting,
And teardrops are starting!
I'll smile the while I kiss you
And wave a brave farewell,
For no matter where you wander,
And no matter what you do,
Till the day that you return,
I'll be waiting here for you!

We won't say goodbye, dear,
We'll just say auf wiedersehen!
I'll try not to cry, dear,
Till you come home again.

Somewhere across the ocean,
You may find devotion,
And other arms may hold you
And try to enfold you.
Remember then, my darling,
There is no love like mine,
For no matter where you wander,
And no matter what you do,
Till the day that you return,
I'll be waiting here for you!

We won't say goodbye, dear,
We'll just say auf wiedersehen!
I'll try not to cry, dear,
Till you come home again.

Sometimes you may forget me,
But that won't upset me.
At night the stars are gleaming
And lovers are dreaming.
It's then we'll be together,
So darling, dream of me,
For no matter where you wander,
And no matter what you do,
Till the day that you return,
I'll be waiting here for you!

We won't say goodbye, dear,
We'll just say auf wiedersehen!
I'll try not to cry, dear,
Till you come home again.
