We thought that love was over
That we were really through
I said I didn't love you and we'd begin anew
And you can all believe me
We should've ended too
But we just couldn't say goodbye
The chair and then the sofa
Broke right down and cried
The curtain started waving
For him to come inside
I tell you confidentially
The tears were hard to hide
And we just couldn't say goodbye
The clock was striking twelve o'clock
It smiled on us below
With folded hands it seemed to say
We'll miss you if you go
So he came back and kissed me
And when I looked around
The room was singing love songs
And dancin' up and down
And now we're both so happy
Because at last we found
We just couldn't say goodbye
(Music)
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 fight
Listen, ladies and gentleman
Here's what happened to us
(Humming and Music)
And you can all believe me
We sure intended to
The chair and then the sofa
Broke right down and cried
I tell you confidentially
The tears were hard to hide
The clock was striking twelve 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
When I looked around
The room was singing love songs
And dancin' up and down
Now we're both so happy
Because at last we found
That we just couldn't say goodbye
