We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo;
and various other artists
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
Theyre mighty hard to explain
One minute they quarrel
Then theyre back together again
Take my case for instance
We had a little fuss
Now listen, ladies and gentlemen
Heres what happened to us
I said I didn't love him
That we'd begin anew
But we just couldnt 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
