Girl I've got to go, I'm leaving tomorrow,

The time is drawing near

Today's the day I have to leave, I've got my suitcase packed,

I'm headed for the train station, don't know when I'll be back.

Girl don't say goodbye to me, It's hard for both of us, I'll send you letter's everyday, with words of love and such.

 

*Don't say goodbye, please say goodnight,

I'll be back as soon as I can,

The war will be long, but we will be strong,

And see each other again,

Don't say goodbye. Please say goodnight.*

 

Girl, I miss you everyday,

The bombs here they blow away,

The draft has sent me far from where you are,

Girl, please don't cry your tears,

I won't be gone for years and years,

I promise I won't go very far,

Today's the day I'm leaving,

Said goodbye to all the men,

Back on in the train station,

I'll be home again.

 

*Don't say goodbye, please say goodnight,

I'll be back as soon as I can,

The war will be long, but we will be strong,

And see each other again,

Don't say goodbye, please say goodnight. *

 

Girl, I'm right behind you,

Come into my arms,

The war is almost over,

I promise we have won,

Don't cry my pretty girl,

Don't mar your pretty face,

I won't be leaving any more,

I just have to go to base,

then we'll carry on home,

make our dreams come true,

Just like little Tommy said,

just like all they knew.

 

*Don't say goodbye, please say goodnight,

I'll be back as soon as I can,

The war will be long, and we will be strong,

and see each other again,

Don't say goodbye, please say goodnight*
