| We thought that love was over
|
| That we were really through
|
| I said I didn’t love him
|
| 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 waving
|
| 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
|
| «We'll miss you if you go.»
|
| So I went back and kissed him
|
| And when I looked around
|
| The room was singing love songs
|
| And dancing up and down
|
| And now we’re both so happy
|
| Because at last we’ve found
|
| That we just couldn’t say goodbye
|
| People in love are funny
|
| They’re mighty hard to explain
|
| One minute they quarrel
|
| Then they’re back together again
|
| Take my case for instance
|
| We had a little fuss
|
| Now listen, ladies and gentlemen
|
| Here’s what happened to us
|
| I said I didn’t love him
|
| That we’d begin anew
|
| But we just couldn’t say goodbye
|
| The chair and then the sofa
|
| They broke right down and cried
|
| I tell you confidentially
|
| The tears were hard to hide
|
| And we just couldn’t say goodbye
|
| So I went back and kissed him
|
| And when I looked around
|
| The room was singing love songs
|
| And dancing up and down
|
| And now we’re both so happy
|
| Because at last we’ve found
|
| That we just couldn’t say goodbye |
