Leavin' and Sayin' Goodbye

(Jeannie Seely) So many times I've told you I was leavin' And oh, so many times how I have tried But sayin' your leavin's so much easier Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye. Every time I'd start to go I wouldn't get ten feet I'd go runnin' back like a runaway child That's afraid to cross the street. And my mind might tell my lips to say it's over My heart would only say it's a lie And sayin' your leavin's so much easier Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye. --- Instrumental --- Yeah, every time I'd start to go I wouldn't get ten feet I'd go runnin' back like a runaway child That's afraid to cross the street. And my mind might tell my lips to say it's over My heart would only say it's a lie And sayin' your leavin's so much easier Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye. Leavin' and sayin' goodbye...
