LEST WE FORGET

Blue Smoke goes drifting by, into the deep blue sky

When I think of home

I sadly sigh

​

Oh I can see you there

With loving tears in your eyes

As we fondly said our last goodbyes

And as I sail away, with a longing to stay

I promised to be true, and to love only you

​

Blue Smoke goes drifting by, into the deep blue skies

My memories of home will never die

​

And as I sail away, with a longing to stay

I promised to be true, and to love only you

​

Blue Smoke goes drifting by, into the deep blue skies

My memories of home will never die.
