[01:13.26]We took a boat over Lake Geneva.
[01:16.50]It was raining all night long,
[01:20.16]We were lucky and we saw no enemy,
[01:23.55]And came from Switzerland poor refugees,
[01:27.54]Far from the guns of war,
[01:32.76]We said goodbye to it all;
[01:37.86]They brought us in to a nurse's station,
[01:41.73]Half a mile behind the lines,
[01:43.74]Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking,
[01:49.14]To see the children, and the walking wounded,
[01:53.37]Hoping for a ticket home,
[01:57.33]And say goodbye to it all;
[02:04.53]I woke up on a cold blue morning,
[02:07.08]To see her there, standing right beside me,
[02:10.71]Long years since I left her at the borderline,
[02:15.21]And how she found me I'd never know,
[02:19.08]But we decided there and then,
[02:20.91]To say goodbye to it all;
[02:24.27]Say goodbye to it all,
[02:24.78]Say goodbye to it all....
[02:49.23]Took a train from Paris to the ocean,
[02:52.47]Found a small hotel by the coast,
[02:56.76]As we walked along the beaches of Normandy,
[03:01.89]We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold,
[03:04.08]And whispered a prayer for the boys,
[03:06.09]Who said goodbye to it all;
[03:09.51]Now we've got our own place by the water,
[03:18.06]And I have a job in the old hotel,
[03:22.29]She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter,
[03:25.65]Well I don't mind, we've made our choice.
[03:29.79]We've got all the time in the world,
[03:34.44]We said goodbye to it all,
[03:35.76]We said goodbye to it all.
[03:37.89]Say goodbye to it all,
[03:39.00]Say goodbye to it all,
[03:39.81]Say goodbye to it all,
[04:10.29]Say goodbye to it all.
