VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCAL BY MARILYN DUKE
G'BYE NOW, G'BYE NOW,
I THOUGHT THE PARTY WAS DIVINE.
I SPENT THE EVENING FORGETTING THE TIME.
I CAN'T DENY, BUT NOW G'BYE.
G'BYE NOW, G'BYE NOW,
THE TRIP BY TAXI WASN'T FAR,
WE'D MADE IT LONGER IF WE HAD A CAR.
I CAN'T DENY, BUT NOW G'BYE.
THERE'S ONE ADVANTAGE TO OUR LEAVING,
IT BRINGS ABOUT A SPECIAL KISS.
I HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE ETERNALLY,
A MOMENTARY PARTING,
JUST A SECOND THING IS STARTING.
SO G'BYE NOW, G'BYE NOW
IT'S JUST A MOMENT WE'RE APART,
TO MAKE IT CERTAIN, I'LL LEAVE YOU MY HEART
BUT FOR NOW,
GOOD BYE NOW.
ORCHESTRATION WITH A TRUMPET SOLO. THEN;
THERE'S ONE ADVANTAGE TO OUR LEAVING,
IT BRINGS ABOUT A SPECIAL KISS.
I HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE ETERNALLY,
A MOMENTARY PARTING,
JUST A SECOND THING IS STARTING.
SO G'BYE NOW, G'BYE NOW
IT'S JUST A MOMENT WE'RE APART,
TO MAKE IT CERTAIN, I'LL LEAVE YOU MY HEART
BUT FOR NOW,
GOOD BYE NOW.
