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 ɾight down and [Bm]cried,
The curtains started waving
For me to [C7]come inside.
I tell you [A7confidentially,
The tears were hard to [C7]hide,
And we just couldn't say goodbye.

The clock was [Am7]stɾiking twelve o'clock
It smiled on [C7]us below,
With folded hands it seemed to [C7]say,
"We'll miss you [A7if you [A7go."

So I went back and [Bm]kissed him,
And when I looked around,
The ɾoom was [Am7]singing love songs,
And dancing up and [Bm]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 [C7]explain
One minute they quarrel
Then theyâ??re back together again
Take my [A]case for [Dm7]instance
We had a little fuss
Now listen, ladies and [Bm]gentlemen
Hereâ??s what happened to [C7]us

I said I didn't love him,
That we'd begin anew

But we just couldnâ??t say goodbye.
The chair and [Bm]then the sofa,
They broke ɾight down and [Bm]cried,

I tell you [A7confidentially,
The tears were hard to [C7]hide,
And we just couldn't say goodbye.

So I went back and [Bm]kissed him,
And when I looked around,
The ɾoom was [Am7]singing love songs,
And dancing up and [Bm]down.
And now we're both so happy,
Because at last we've found.
That we just couldn't say goodbye.
