[Verse 1]
Before I gaze at you again
I'll need a time for tears
Before I gaze at you again
Let hours turn to years
I have so much forgetting to do
Before I try to gaze again at you

[Verse 2]
Stay away until you cross my mind
Barely once a day
Stay away until I wake and find
I can smile and say

[Chorus]
That I shall gaze at you again
Without a blush or qualm
My eyes will shine like new again
My manner poised and calm

[Post-Chorus]
No sign of fear, not even a sigh
And so, 'til when we meet again, goodbye

[Chorus]
When I can gaze at you again
Without a blush or qualm
My eyes will shine like new again
My manner poised and calm
[Post-Chorus]
No sign of fear, not even a sigh
And so, 'til when we meet again, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
