We Mustn't Say Goodbye (German: We mustn't say goodbye ) is a song from the film Stage Door Canteen (1943) performed by Lanny Ross , who appears with the Freddy Martin Orchestra. The “Stage Door Canteen” was a place where American and Allied military personnel found distraction with an entertainment program before or after their missions. The song addresses the farewell between people who love each other. It is sung imploringly that one does not have to say goodbye, because the mountains will be pushed together and the seas dry, and when the postman rings and brings an envelope, each other's heart will be in it. Even the memories, the many memories that you have in your heart, would never be able to die.
At the 1944 Academy Awards , James V. Monaco (music) and Al Dubin (lyrics) with We Mustn't Say Goodbye were nominated for an Oscar in the “Best Song” category, but they were left with Harry Warren and Mack Gordon and their song You'll Never Know from the movie Hello Frisco, Hello .
The song was also recorded by Anne Shelton with Bert Ambrose & His Orchestra in 1943 . Jo Stafford sang the song in 1959, other cover versions are by Tony Bennett (1960) and Mel Tormé / George Shearing 1990 ( Mel & George "Do" World War II , Concord Records ). Ted Baxter played We Mustn't Say Goodbye on an Ampico piano .
