So Long Sally

So long Sally,
you'll be a beautiful bride . . .
So long Sally,
though I won't be there at your side . . .

I can't deny, I wish that I
were in his shoes,
but someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose,
in dreams I'll still caress you,
goodbye, good luck an' bless you,
guess I'll be runnin' along . . .
So long Sally,
So long . . .

< instrumental verse >

I can't deny, I wish that I
were in his shoes,
but someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose,
in dreams I'll still caress you,
goodbye, good luck an' bless you,
guess I'll be runnin' along . . .
So long Sally,
So long . . .
