Lyrics
Let me hold you close to my heart
Brush your tears away, dear
While a fond “Auf Wiedersehn”
You shall hear me say, dear
Something fills my heart with fear
Tho’ I know not why, dear
Telling me “Auf Wiedersehn”
This time means goodbye, dear
Calm your fears, dry your tears
Hold me closer, closer to your breast
I must weep or die, dear
Chorus
Love lives ever, knowing no word like goodbye
Hearts may sever, true love can never die
Calm all your fears and dry all your tears
Love will remain when all else shall wane
Guiding me on thro’ the years
Auf Wiedersehn, Auf Wiedersehn
