If You Say I Can Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

I had not planned on seeing you I was afraid of what I'd do 

But pride is strong and here am I I just can't let you say goodbye 

Please have no fear you're in no harm as long as you're here in my arms 

But you can't leave so please don't try I just can't let you say goodbye 

What force behind your evil mind can make your lips speak so unkind 

The one who loves as much as I I just can't let you say goodbye 

The fresh around your throat is pale intended by my fingernails 

Please don't scream please don't cry I just can't let you say goodbye 

Your voice is still now it speaks no more you'll never hurt me anymore 

You know death is a friend to love and I cause now you'll never say goodbye
