We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye

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
Theyâ??re mighty hard to explain
One minute they quarrel
Then theyâ??re back together again
Take my case for instance
We had a little fuss
Now listen, ladies and gentlemen
Hereâ??s what happened to us
I said I didn't love him,
That we'd begin anew
But we just couldnâ??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.
