Lyrics

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie
Oh but that'll be the day when I die
You give me all your lovin' and all your turtle dovin'
Your hugs and kisses and your money, too
You say you want me, baby, but then you tell me maybe
That someday that I'll be blue
Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie
Oh but that'll be the day when I die
When Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part then I'll leave you
You say you want to hold me, but then you tell me boldly
That someday, well, I'll be blue
Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie
Oh but that'll be the day when I die
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
