We thought that love was over

that we were really through

I said I didn't love him

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

broke right down and cry

the curtains started waving for him 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're gonna miss you if you go So he came back and kissed me

and when I looked around

the room was singing love songs

and dancing up and down

and now we are both so happy

because at last we found

that we just couldn't say good-bye People in love are funny

mighty hard to explain

one minute they quarrel

then they're back together again Take my case for instance

we had a little fuss

listen ladies and gentleman

Here's what happened to us The clock was striking 12 o' clock

it smiled on us below

with folded hands it seemed to say

we're gonna miss you if you go So he came back and kissed me

and when I looked around

the room was singing love songs

and dancing up and down

and now we are both so happy

because at last we found

that we just couldn't say good-bye
