Classic Poem

REFRAIN

We thought that love was over,
That we were really through.
I said I didn't love her,
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,
They broke right down and cried.
The curtains started wavin'
For me 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 twelve o'clock,
It smiled on us below.
With folded hands it seemed to say,
We'll miss you if you go.
So I went back and kissed her
And when I looked around,
The room was singin' love songs
And dancin' up and down.
And now we're both so happy,
Because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say good-bye.
