They were standing in a crowded station

So unaware

Of all the people there!

I didn't mean to hear their conversation

But anyone could tell

It was their last farewell!

Good-bye Sue

All the best of luck to you!

You've been my only gal

What's more, my best pal!

Please don't cry

Smile until the clouds roll by!

Don't kiss me dear, just walk away

Or I could never ever say

Good-bye, good-bye Sue!

( Good-bye Sue ) My little Sue!

( All the best of luck to you! ) Good luck to you!

( You've been my only gal

What's more, my best pal!

My best pal! )

Please don't cry

Smile until the clouds roll by!

Don't kiss me dear, just walk away

Or I could never ever say

Good-bye, good-bye Sue!
