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 confidentialy 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
Peple 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 goobye
