I Am Goodbye

Oh, 'tis sad to be parted from those that we love

Strange faces we see every day

Each heart string of mine is broken in time

When I think of those dear ones at home



Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home

God bless those I leave with a sigh

I'll cherish fond memories when I'm far away

To roam o'er this wide world alone



I stood on my doorstep one evening and morn

The wind whispered by with a moan

The fields may be whitening, but I will be gone

To roam o'er this wide world alone



Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home

God bless those I leave with a sigh

I'll cherish fond memories when I'm far away

To roam o'er this wide world alone



And I stood on my doorstep when school time was o'er

And I wished for the time to go by

Now it has passed, and I stand here tonight

To bid this old stepstone goodbye



Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home

God bless those I leave with a sigh

I'll cherish fond memories when I'm far away

To roam o'er this wide world alone

To roam o'er this wide world alone
