WE JUST COULDN'T SAY GOODBYE

Guy Lombardo



We thought that love was over,

That we were really through,

I said I didn't love her,

That we'd begin anew

And you can all believe me,

We sure intended to,

But we just couldn't say goodbye.



The chair and then the sofa,

They broke right down and cried,

The curtains started wavin'

For me to come inside.

I tell you confidentially,

The tears were hard to hide,

And we just couldn't say goodbye.



The clock was striking twelve o'clock

It smiled on us below,

With folded hands it seemed to say,
