Now Miss Sarah, if you please,
Sing a scale for me . . .
Take a breath and then reprise
In a different key.
All my life I shall remember knowing you,
All the pleasure I have found in showing you
The different ways
That one may phrase
The changing light, and changing shade;
Happiness that must die,
Melodies that must fly,
Memories that must fade,
Dusty and forgotten by and by. SHE :
Learning scales will never seem so sweet again
Till our Destiny shall let us meet again. HE :
The will of Fate
May come too late. SHE :
When I'm recalling these hours we've had,
Why will the foolish tears
Tremble across the years,
Why shall I feel so sad,
Treasuring the memory of these days
Always?

I'll see you again,
Whenever Spring breaks through again;
Time may lie heavy between,
But what has been
Is past forgetting.
This sweet memory
Across the years will come to me;
Though my world may go awry,
In my heart will ever lie
Just the echo of a sigh,
Good-bye.
