Too soon to say goodbye, my dear Too soon to let you go Too soon to say, "Auf Wiederschen" "Au revoir," no, no Too soon to say goodbye, my dear Too soon to rest my case Too soon to start another journey When we've just won the race Not while the lanterns and chandeliers Sway in the pale moonlight Not while the shimmer of far and near Holds us both so tight Too soon to say goodbye, my dear Too soon the tide will rise But not 'til it reaches another shore Will I ever say "goodbye" Not while the music and fireworks Sing down the hill to the sound Not while the girls in their summer gowns Are dancing round and round Too soon to see the world beyond I'm willing to be late Let's stay right here beneath the stars Let the voyage wait Cause it's too soon, Too soon, to soon to say goodbye Too soon
