Good-by, Old Year!

Good-by!

We have been happy – you and I;

We have been glad in many ways;

And now, that you have come to die,

Remembering our happy days,

'Tis hard to say, "Good-by —

Good-by, Old Year!

Good-by!"

Good-by, Old Year!

Good-by!

We have seen sorrow – you and I —

Such hopeless sorrow, grief and care,

That now, that you have come to die,

Remembering our old despair,

'Tis sweet to say, "Good-by —

Good-by, Old Year!

Good-by!"
