I Just Couldn't Take a Goodbye

Don't you say

"I love you forever"

Just because

We lie here together

But darling, don't build my hopes up so high

That if ever you'd leave I would die

Yes I would die after knowing your kindness

Hearing you promise

Then have you tell me "goodbye"

After knowing your kindness, hearing you promise

I just couldn't take a goodbye

Say, it's been

"Something to remember"

A flame once broad

But now just an ember

But darling don't take me up to the sky

Break my wings and expect me to fly

How could I fly after knowing your kindness

Hearing you promise

Then have you tell me "goodbye"

After knowing your kindness, hearing you promise

I just couldn't take a goodbye

But darling don't take me up to the sky

Break my wings, then expect me to fly

How could I fly after knowing your kindness

Hearing you promise

Then have you tell me "goodbye"

After knowing your kindness, hearing your promise

I just couldn't take a goodbye

Oh, no, no
