Bye Bye Love
Gene Summers Lyrics
You know I really have to go
But before I do please let me know
That there's no one in your heart but me
And in your heart I'll always be
Bye bye baby blue
I'll be seeing you
Well, it seems our love was hit and run
And you had to leave before we'd begun
Maybe it really was a crime
To want to have you all the time
Bye bye baby blue
I'll be seeing you
BRIDGE:
Bye bye baby blue
I hate to say goodbye
Bye bye baby blue
Must go before I cry
But before I go just hold me near
And that's all I ask from you my dear
Remember me whenever you can
And baby try to understand
Bye bye baby blue
Oh, I'll be seeing you
Goodbye Priscilla.
