Lyrics
Well, that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day
When I die
Well, you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
You know you love me, baby
Still you tell me maybe
That someday well
I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna 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
Yes, that'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day
When I die, well
When Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part
Then I'll leave you
You sit and hold me
And you tell me boldly
That someday
Well, I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day
When I die
Well, that'll be the day, oh-oh
That'll be the day, oh-oh
That'll be the day, oh-oh
That'll be the day
