And I'll be with my diary
And that book by Mister Gideon
Bye bye baby,
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
Although I know that you care,
That though on the loose,
You are still on the square,
I'll be gloomy
But send the rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly,
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling With my baby bye and bye
Bye, bye baby,
Remember you're my baby
when they give you the eye,
And just to show that I care,
I will write and declare
That I'm on the loose,
But I'll stay on the square,
I'll be lonely
But even though I'm lonely
There'll be no other guy,
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby bye and bye
With my baby, bye and bye
The lyrics of Bye Bye Baby song by Marilyn Monroe feat. Jane Russell revolve around the idea of waiting for the return of a loved one who is away. The singer expresses her feelings of being alone and gloomy without her partner. She talks about how she will spend her time in her room with her diary and the book by Mister Gideon. The singer then asks her partner to remember her when he's away, and not to be lured by other people's attention. She declares her loyalty and promises to stay faithful while he's away. The idea of being on the loose but still being on the square signifies true love and commitment. She asks her partner to send her the rainbow, which signifies hope and happiness, indicating her longing for his return. The last few lines of the song show the singer's optimism about the future, even though her partner is away. She knows that she will be reunited with him, and they will be happy together.

Bye bye baby, Remember you're my baby
Goodbye my love, remember you belong to me
When they give you the eye
When someone tries to flirt with you
Although I know that you care, Won't you write and declare That though on the loose, You are still on the square
I understand that you are free to do what you want but please confirm that you will remain honest and true
I'll be gloomy, But send the rainbow to me, Then my shadows will fly
I will be sad but if you can send some happiness my way, it will make me feel better
Though you'll be gone for a while, I know that I'll be smiling With my baby bye and bye
Even though you will be away for some time, I will still be happy and look forward to being with you again
Bye, bye baby, Remember you're my baby when they give you the eye
Goodbye sweetheart, don't forget that you belong to me when someone tries to hit on you
And just to show that I care, I will write and declare That I'm on the loose, But I'll stay on the square
To demonstrate my love, I will let you know that I am free to do what I want but promise to remain honest and faithful
I'll be lonely, But even though I'm lonely there'll be no other guy
I will be alone but I will remain loyal to you and not be with anyone else
Though I'll be gone for a while, I know that I'll be smiling With my baby bye and bye
Although I will be away for some time, I will still be happy knowing that I will be with you again
With my baby, bye and bye
I will be with my love again soon

Bye, bye baby

I'm still on the square
I've been lonely
But even though I'm lonely

I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby bye and bye

I had the thrill of playing this on the piano while Jane sang it. The year was 1995.

Wow what a amazing moment, and a wonderful memory.

Marilyn would have been happy to see her co-star still singing a song from their movie in 1995, sadly Marilyn would not have been able to do this considering the poor soul died 33 years before 1995
@tooprettykatera
You're so lucky omg

A song that sticks with you all your life. Over and over and over.

Have you heard the Jack Benny version? Check out the last Jack Benny Show from old Radio. His band did a version of "Bye Bye Benny". This is my favorite song. It's as you said. I get a great feeling just singing it to myself.

This may be my favorite movie of all time. I just rewatched it with my five year old daughter for the first time in a loooong time. She loved it! And I realized I totally slept on Jane Russell. She’s amazing!
