Текст песни For the Sake of Days Gone By - Jimmie Rodgers

You say that you are leaving
That soon we two must part
I know that you can't mean it
For that would break my heart
And after all, you know
I really loved you so

For the sake of days gone by, dear
Let us start a new
Let's be friends until the end
Like true sweethearts do
Tho' we may have quarrelled
Please don't say goodbye
Shake hands, then kiss and make up
For the sake of days gone be

Why should we spoil our romance
That's lasted all these years
Parting brings only sadness
Unhappiness and tears
I need you more each day
So please don't go away

For the sake of days gone by, dear
Let us start a new
Let's be friends until the end
Like true sweethearts do
Tho' we may have quarrelled
Please don't say goodbye
Shake hands, then kiss and make up
For the sake of days gone by
