NOW IS THE HOUR
(Scott, Kaihau)

Now is the hour
When we must say goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing
Far across the sea.

While you're away,
Oh, then, remember me.
When you return,
You'll find me waiting here.

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.

Now is the hour
When we must say goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing
Far across the sea.

While you're away
Oh, then, remember me.
When you return
You'll find me waiting here.


Scott, Kaihau;
based on a traditional New Zealand song "Hearere Ra,"
a.k.a. "The Maori Farewell."

Recorded by Bing Crosby in 1947.
