I Hate to Say Goodbye

When I tell you that you're lovely

I hope that you won't think me sly

And if I ask if I could hold your hand

I hope that you would understand

If you should leave me tomorrow

Or if you would tell me goodbye

You know that would only bring me sorrow

You know I only want to see you only

And I, And I, And I

I hate to say goodbye

If you have felt out of comfort

You know if was not my intent

I only want you to stay longer

Not to bring you discontent

And I, And I, And I

I hate to say goodbye
