Everything is going brightly now, everything is going straight
But you know I must think twice right now, it's really getting quite late
And I must take my leave of you now, there's someone I've got to see
There's no more that I can give to you now, because somebody counts on me
Sleepy mornings in the summer, you have been good to me
It's true, but you know I can't sit any longer
There's more to summer days than you
And I must take my leave of you now, there's someone I've got to see
There's no more that I can give to you now, because somebody counts on me
There's no more that I can give to you now, because somebody counts on me
It doesn't matter what news you have to tell me
Or what songs you have to sing
Or what goods you have to sell me
Or even what gifts you have to bring
And I must take my leave of you now
There's someone I've got to see
There's someone I've got to see
There's no more that I can give to you now, because somebody counts on me
Someday when all my work is over
And all my songs are sung
And there's nothing more to bother me
Then I'll do some counting in return
And I must take my leave of you now
There's someone I've got to see
There's no more that I can give to you now, because somebody counts on me
I must take my leave of you now
There's someone I'd love to see
There's no more that I can give you now
Because somebody counts on me
