"I Hate To See You Go" lyrics

All I have is just a memory of you
And a photograph, dear, of your eyes so blue
You said you'd always love me, but I knew I'd have to pay
And now that you are leaving, here's all that I can say

I hate to see you go away and leave me
For we have been sweethearts so long
I guess it would be better though it grieves me
To think how I'll miss you when you're gone

Though, sweetheart, I want you to be happy
How I'll miss you, dear, you'll never know
But if you think it's best, there's nothing I can do, I guess
So I'll just say I hate to see you go

Though, sweetheart, I want you to be happy
How I'll miss you, dear, you'll never know
But if you think it's best, there's nothing I can do, I guess
So I'll just say I hate to see you go
