My Darling's Last Goodbye

Now I just heard my darlilng's last goodbye
Her precious lips can speak to me no more
The teardrops stain my cheeks although I tried
To remember that we'll meet on heaven's shore

The vows we said as planned today
        So she would know no one could take her place
        My love so young and fair was called away
        And I'm left an empty life to face

I know someday I'll leave this empty life
To join my precious sweetheart up on high
Till then I'll bear the sorrow and the strife
For I just heard my darling's last goodbye

* Refrain
