our affair be a gay thing,
and when these oars have flown,
happiness that has passed,
there'll be no regretting,
fun that didn't quite last.
Let's look on love as a plaything,
when the thrill of them has faded
Let's say goodbye and leave it alone
Now we've em barked on this
Don't let's destroy it with tears
Reason may sleep for a moment in spring
But please let us keep this
something sweet to remember
Let our affair be a gay thing,
and when these hours have flown,
Happiness that has paused,
there will be no re gretting,
fun that didn't quite last.
Let's look on love as a plaything,
when the thrill of the hunt's faded.
Let's say goodbye and leave it alone.
