I'm going away
Just for a while
I wont be far
Give me a smile.

Please keep smiling
when you do
A part of me
Smiles with you

My love, my hopes
To you I've passed
A parting gift
I pray will last

When we're reunited
I promise then
We'll never ever
be parted again

Until that time
Do not cry
God be with you, now
Good bye!

Amen!
