Well, it’s time for me to leave you once again.
Darling, I’ll be leaving soon, but until then,
Please don’t cry a single tear
As long as I’m still near,
For there’ll be time enough for tears when I’m gone.
Come and let me look at you a little longer.
I can feel the love we share keep growing stronger.
I don’t want to see you cry
Even when we say good bye,
For there’ll be time enough for tears when I’m gone.
There’ll be time enough for tears when you’re lonely,
And you wake to find that I’m not by your side,
But then when I return
I’ll be bringing you a kiss
For every single tear that you’ve cried.
Let me hold you one more time before I leave you.
Please believe that while I’m gone, I won’t deceive you.
Girl, don’t let those teardrops start
And bring sadness to my heart,
For there’ll be time enough for tears when I’m gone.
