Goodbye my love, the country is in need of me
and I heard there were signs of war so I´m going overseas

So don´t cry my love
The skies above will cry for you
and I´ll be safe so hopefully
I´ll come back home for you

Yeah, Yeah

So please, tell me it´s not true
after all the love I´ve given, you found someone new
and all about the things I´ve seen
this has got to be, got to be the greatest tragedy
Oh you, you let it all slip away but soon you´ll find
soon you´ll find (yeah) what you can´t replace

I gave away my love
that I promised you I would keep
A thousand deaths I died that day
When 2 became 1
A greater force pulled you away
So I got on my knees and begged
That silence replaced my tears
So goodbye my love
August 1, 1965

Yeah [x4]

So please, tell me it´s not true
after all the love I´ve given, you found someone new
and all about the things I´ve seen
this has got to be, got to be the greatest tragedy
Oh you, you let it all slip away but soon you´ll find
soon you´ll find (yeah) what you can´t replace

Yeah

Goodbye my love, as I bid farewell to thee
all is fair in love and war so I´m going overseas
