Dearest old friend
Gone away with the wind
On a morning in sunny July

When it suddenly came
It was calling your name
And you left without telling us why


But still you will find
The ones you left behind

Will not forget you my friend
Oh we all understand
You just never liked saying goodbye


Well I guess that I knew
You were just passing through

Like the billowing clouds in the sy
Now your ship has come in
And your voyage begins

And I'm trying to learn not to cry

You're sailing away

But I believe that some day
I will see you again
Because I know you're my friend

And you never liked saying goodbye
