No. 16 - Duet - Kitty and Jack - "Good-Bye."
Kitty: | We play'd at love with kiss and tear And laughter. |
Jack: | And I must love you now, my dear, And after. |
Kitty: | The pleasant game is done, For here's tomorrow's sun, |
Jack: | And love has cost but little lost, |
Both: | And nothing won. If Love was but a play, The love we thought so true, There's nothing more to say, And nothing left to do. A passing smile for you, For me a passing sigh, And that's the end of love, my friend, Good-bye! Good-bye! |
Kitty: | A day or two you'll think of me Regretful — |
Jack: | Ah! do not dream that I can be Forgetful. |
Kitty: | And though my heart be sore, No pity I implore |
Jack: | For pity's sake must love awake |
Both: | No more, no more! If love is done and dead, Our love so fair and young, Let nothing more be said, Nor let a dirge be sung. But leave our love among The flow'rs that fade and die, With tears and laugh for epitaph, Good-bye! Good-bye! |
