We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye

We thought that love was over and we were really through

I said I didn't love him that we begin a new

And you can all believe we sure intended too

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 12 'o clock

It smiled on us below

We folded hands it seemed to say

We're gonna miss you if you go

So I went back and kissed him

And when we looked around

The room was singing love songs

And dancing up and down

And now we're both so happy

Because at last we found

That we just couldn't say goodbye

People in love are funny

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

The clock was striking 12 'o clock

It smiled on us below

We folded hands it seemed to say

We're gonna miss you if you go

So I went back and kissed him

And when we looked around

The room was singing love songs

And dancing up and down

And now we're both so happy

Because at last we found

That we just couldn't say goodbye
