We parted by the riverside
The moon looked down on you and me
The stars put on a look of pride
The river murmured to the sea
The dewdrops kissed the blushing rose
The mournful winds did sigh
One word of nature's sweet repose
That sad word was ? goodbye
Oh, tell me that you love me yet
For all this parting brings me pain
Please tell me that you'll not forget
For we may never meet again
For I am grateful to you still
As long as you are true
Let fate bring to me what it will
For I love you, only you
We parted by the riverside
The moon looked down on you and me
The stars put on a look of pride
The river murmured to the sea
The dewdrops kissed the blushing rose
The mournful winds did sigh
One word of nature's sweet repose
That sad word was ? goodbye
