That'll Be The Day
Beatles · Anthology 1
when you say goodbye
Yeah that'll be the day
when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die
Well you gave me all your loving
and all your turtle doving,
all your hugs and kisses
and your money too
You say you love me baby,
still you tell me maybe
that somebody, well I'll be through.
Well that'll be the day
when you say goodbye
That'll be the day
when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die.
Yes that'll be the day
when you say goodbye
Yes that'll be the day
when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die
Well when Cupid shot his dart,
he shot it at your heart
So if we'll ever part,
and I'll leave you
You say and hold me,
and you tell me boldly
that some day, well I'll be through.
Well that'll be the day
when you say goodbye
Yes that'll be the day
when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die
Yeah that'll be the day
Ohoh that'll be the day
Ohoh that'll be the day
Ohoh that'll be the day
