We thought that love was over That we were really through I said I didn't love her That we'd begin anew And you can all believe me We sure intended to But we just couldn't say good-bye The chair and then the sofa They broke right down and cry 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 good-bye The clock was striking 12 o' clock It smiled on us below With folded hands it seemed to say "We'll miss you if you go" So I went right back and kissed her 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 found That we just couldn't say good-bye The clock was striking 12 o' clock It smiled on us below With folded hands it seemed to say "We'll miss you if you go" So I went right back and kissed her 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 found That we just couldn't say good-bye
