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 going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me, baby, still you tell me, baby
That someday, well I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
When Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You kiss and hold me and you tell me boldly
Well, that someday, well, I'll be too
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
That'll be the day, when he'll make me cry
And say you're going to leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, that'll be the day, woo-hoo
That'll be the day, woo-hoo
That'll be the day, woo-hoo
That'll be the day when I die
Written by: Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, Norman Petty
