Related: About this forumOK I need some help with a song.
It was a closing song to a variety show in the 60's or 70's. I know the melody but can't put it down right now but can later if someone wants it. It was the closer and it had the cast standing on stage, the star I think, sang it and they all waved and yelled goodbye. I cannot remember all the words but enough I think for someone with a clearer mind to remember it.
"Now we come to the moment when we *something something* say good bye to our friends near and far, anywhere au revoir."
My original thought was Carol Burnett, the earlier shows when she sang her usual "I'm so glad we had this time together" followed by this short upbeat ditty but I cannot find it. I am usually a very good Internet searcher but not this time.
It is making me crazy so thanks for thinking about it.
I tried Red Skelton, Dinah Shore, Carol Burnett and I am fairly sure it was not someone along the lines of Dean Martin or Sammy Davis Jr. or even the Smothers Brothers. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

(54,150 posts)I'm so glad we had this time together
Just to have a laugh, or sing a song.
Seems we just got started
and before you know it
Comes the time we have
to say, 'So long.'
There's a time you put
aside for dreamin',
And a time for things you have to do.
The time I love the best
is in the evening -
I can spend a moment here with you.
When the time comes
that I'm feelin lonely,
And I'm feelin' ohooooo - so blue,
I just sit back and think of you, only,
And the Happiness still comes through.
That's why I'm glad we
had this time together,
'Cause it makes me feel like I belong.
Seems we just got started

Anyway, I watched the show growing up and as I was trying to figure out the answer, I was thinking "oh my gosh, am I old?"

(34,368 posts)even when I was in High School to tell me that Peanut (?) was going to be on playing the clarinet. I had to sit down and watch so I could discuss it with them, I could not break their hearts by dissing what they though was just the greatest.
Nope, neither one.
