Today you're leaving - don't you fear,
the best is yet to be.
Just knowing you were somewhere near
has meant so much to me.
We'll see each other someday,
though I cannot tell you when,
So merry meet, and merry part,
and merry meet again.
There's just no way of knowing
how much time that we have here:
it's a river ever flowing,
you can't hold what you hold dear.
But rain will follow sunshine,
and sunshine follow rain,
So merry meet, and merry part,
and merry meet again.
Let's never lose the happiness
we shared here for a while
although I know I'll sometimes miss
the pleasure of your smile.
I fell like I just met you,
and I feel like we're old friends,
So merry meet, and merry part,
and merry meet again.
