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 goodbye
The chair and then the sofa
they broke right down and cried
The curtain started waving for me to come inside
I tell you confident'a'lly 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 her 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
The clock was striking twelve o'clock, it smiled on us below

Now we're both so happy because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say goodbye
