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!
