by the time you say goodbye. by the time you say cheerio. we'll take a handshake through. on your journey as you go. keep a pray'r within your heart. that the time will surely fly. to the day when we shall meet again. by the time you say goodbye. hmmm...... yes listeners we have been coming to you. live on a crystal ballroom high above the Hotel Jamestown. in picturesque western new york. as your program draws to a close. it gives me profound pleasure to say cheerio. to the strains of Miss Natalie Merchant and her choir. and so now it only remains for me to say... goodnight. by the time you say goodbye. by the time you say cheerio. we'll take a handshake through. on your journey as you go. keep a pray'r within your heart. that the time will surely fly. to the day when we shall meet again. by the time you say goodbye.
