We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye

We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye - Annette Hanshaw

Written by：Harry Woods

We thought that love was over

That we were really through

I said I didn't love him

That we'd begin ane

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 me

And when I looked around

The room was singing love songs

And dancing up and down

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

Listen ladies and gentlemen

Here's what happened to us

And you can all believe me

That we sure intended to

The chair and then the sofa

They broke right down and cried

I tell you confidentially

The tears were hard to hide

The clock was striking twelve o'clock

It smiled on us below

With folded hands it seemed to say

We'll ganna miss you if you go

So you come back and kissed me

And when I looked around

The room was singing love songs

And dancing up and down

Now we're both so happy

Because at last we've found

That we just couldn't say goodbye
