A Short Goodbye

Sweet melodies

Breaking on a sullen ear

Will endear

And bring memories

Sweet melodies

Sweet melodies

Cross an ancient battlefield

Soaring still and claim memories

Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now

Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye.

Sweet melodies

At a trembling finger stroke

Will evoke

A skin memory

Sweet melodies

Sweet melodies

Fade to quiet evening pale

And a trail of white memories

Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now

Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye.
