Well it's almost over, but please don't cry   And I'll be gone forever more, say goodbye       They will tell you to carry on   And that you mustn't tarry on and   They're gonna say you cannot cry every day   And that you're gonna let it fade away   Well I'm sorry if it doesn't work that way       Well I always feel like dying   And it makes me cry, 'cause I'll be gone forever more   Don't want to say goodbye       And now they're telling me I've got to carry on   And I mustn't tarry on and   They're trying to say I cannot cry every day and   That I have to let it fade away   Well I'm sorry, it isn't working that way       But now, it's over, please don't cry   Yes I am gone forever more, say goodbye
