I sat in the window of my room
Watched you go away
It was all I could do
It was all I could do
Your going away
To leave me alone
In all of this sorrow
In this misery
So look now, my darling
I'll have to abandon
All thought of you
As your going away
I still see your dear little head as it touched mine
Saying goodbye, forever goodbye
Those words you said to me have broken my heart
Yes, they've broken my heart, they were false and did lie
Goodbye, my dear
Goodbye forever
Your going away
Your going away
Death is hard
But your leaving is worse
Oh yes, my dear
Your leaving is worse
Your going, my dear
Your going forever
And leaving me
All alone with this grief
So how, my dear, how will I forget you
When I see your face wherever I go
When I close my eyes, it's as though I see you
Your beautiful blue eyes, your beautiful lie
I sat in the window of my room
An' I watched you go away
It was all I could do
It was all I could do
