And now...

And now, I'm leaving

Tomorrow doesn't exist ; yesterday is gone

I'm trying to refrain from crying

But I must go, goodbye, now that all has been said and done

I wish I could stay

But life doesn't work that way

Now, you're a memory from yesterday

Oh, I swear I'll come back, one day

Why must I say goodbye?

Oh, farewell to thee

Why must I say goodbye

Under the flowery tree? 

Oh! Farewell to thee

I have loved you dearly

Leaving makes me unhappy

But nobody said it would be easy

And now, I'm leaving

Tomorrow doesn't exist ; yesterday is gone

I'm trying to refrain from crying

But I must go, goodbye, now that all has been said and done...
