Ruth Brown - So Long

So long, hope we'll meet again some day
Hope that maybe then you'll say
Darling, I was wrong

So long, gee, I hate to see you go
You're the world to me you know
You've been mine, so long

All alone with my memories of you
I can see that you're lonely too
You're my own, even though we're far apart
I will keep you right here in my heart

So long, so long
Though you leave me here to cry
This can never ever be goodbye
We'll just say, so long

Though you leave me here to cry
This can never ever be goodbye
We'll just say, so long
So long, hope we'll meet again some day
Hope that maybe then you'll say
Darling, I was wrong

So long, gee, I hate to see you go
You're the world to me you know
You've been mine, so long

All alone with my memories of you
I can see that you're lonely too
You're my own, even though we're far apart
I will keep you right here in my heart

So long, so long
Though you leave me here to cry
This can never ever be goodbye
We'll just say, so long

Though you leave me here to cry
This can never ever be goodbye
We'll just say, so long
Ruth Brown - So Long - Smooth 1949 R&B Ballad

Love this. Thanks to Cris for the awesome gift. Sonny Til and The Orioles did a fantastic version of this in the early 60's for Jubilee records.
