Recorded by Bing Crosby in 1947 (#1 for 3 weeks), this song stayed on the charts for a total of 23 weeks -- a remarkable achievement, considering the fact that it had no orchestral support. For both this song, and "Silver Threads Among the Gold" which he recorded in the same session, his only accompaniment was the Ken Darby Choir.
-- Excerpts from The Guitarguy.

Now is the hour when we must say goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
While you're a - way, oh, then, remember me.
When you return you'll find me waiting here.
Bridge:
Sunset glow fades in the west.
Night o'er the valley is creep - ing.
Birds cuddle down in their nest
Soon all the world will be sleep - ing.
Now is the hour when we must say goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
While you're a - way, oh, then, remember me.
When you return you'll find me waiting here.
