We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye Lyrics - Grad Rag Doll - Diana Krall

We thought that love was over, 

That we were really through, 

I said I didn't love him, 

That we'd begin anew 

And you can all believe me, 

We sure intended to, 

But we just couldn't say goodbye. 

The chair and then the sofa, 

They broke right down and cried, 

The curtains started waving 

For me 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 I went back and kissed him, 

And when I looked around, 

The room was singing love songs, 

And dancing up and down. 

And now we're both so happy, 

Because at last we've found. 

That we just couldn't say goodbye. 

People in love are funny 

They're mighty hard to explain 

One minute they quarrel 

Then they're back together again 

Take my case for instance 

We had a little fuss 

Now listen, ladies and gentlemen 

Here's what happened to us 

I said I didn't love him, 

That we'd begin anew 

But we just couldn't say goodbye. 

The chair and then the sofa, 

They broke right down and cried, 

I tell you confidentially, 

The tears were hard to hide, 

And we just couldn't say goodbye. 

So I went back and kissed him, 

And when I looked around, 

The room was singing love songs, 

And dancing up and down. 

And now we're both so happy, 

Because at last we've found. 

That we just couldn't say goodbye.
