It's A Shame To Say Goodbye

(album: Folk 'N Roll - 1965)

It's funny how simple it started
You were standing alone on the sand
I walked slowly up to you and casually reached for your hand

I took your hand in mine
Even before you knew my name
It was such a beautiful beginning
That's why parting is such a shame

It's a shame to say goodbye
When we've barely said hello
It's a shame to see you cry when I could have loved you so

How sad I am that I'm leaving you behind
You know all I fear
Is you're not near, little one

Our wonderful summer is over
And I've got to be going my way
So lets make love just one more time
Before the sky turns grey

It's a shame to say goodbye
When we've barely said hello
It's a shame to see you cry
When I could have loved you so
