Auf Wiedersehn, Herbert Reynolds, Sigmund Romberg

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Let me hold you close to my heart,
Brush your tears away, dear,
While a fond "Auf Wiedersehn"
You shall hear me say, dear.
Something fills my heart with fear,
Tho' I know not why, dear;
Telling me "Auf Wiedersehn"
This time means good-bye, dear!
Calm your fears,
Dry your tears,
Hold me closer, closer to your breast,
I must weep or die, dear,
Love lives ever,
Knowing no word like good-bye,
Hearts may sever, true love can never die!
Calm all your fears and dry all your tears,
Love will remain when all else shall wane,
Guiding me on …
