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
