A young couple stood under stars in the sky
They pledged their love with tears in their eyes
For this was a true love goodbye

They stood there trembling and couldn't speak
She tip toed and kissed his cheek

A true love goodbye, they tried not to cry
With words so true, they both said, "I love you"

Then they parted both broken hearted
But they'll meet again some day some way
Beyond this true love goodbye

A true love goodbye, they tried not to cry
With words so true, they both said, "I love you"

Then they parted both broken hearted
But they'll meet again some day some way
Beyond this true love goodbye
True love, true love goodbye, bye my love
