Now Is the Hour - Chelsea Pensioners

Sunset glow fades in the west

Night o’er the valley is creeping

Birds cuddle down in their nest

Soon all the world will be sleeping

And now is the hour when we must say goodbye

Soon you’ll be sailing far across the sea

While you’re away, o, then remember me

When you return, you’ll find me waiting here

True lovers often must part

Kiss me, then leave me to sorrow!

Here love, I give you my heart

You will return some glad morrow

But now is the hour when we must say goodbye

Soon you’ll be sailing far across the sea

While you’re away, o, then remember me

When you return, you’ll find me waiting here
