I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye

Willie Nelson · Oh Boy Records Classics Presents: Willie Nelson [2000]

I had not planned on seeing you

I was afraid of what I'd do

But pride is strong and here am I

And I just can't let you say goodbye

What force behind your evil mind

Can let your lips speak so unkind?

To one who loves as much as I

And I just can't let you say goodbye

The flesh around your throat is pale

Intended by my fingernails

Please don't scream, please don't cry

'Cause I just can't let you say goodbye

Your voice is still and it speaks no more

You'll never hurt me anymore

Death is a friend to love and I

'Cause now you'll never say goodbye

I had not planned on seeing you

I was afraid of what I'd do

But pride is strong and here am I

Now you'll never say goodbye
