I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye

(Willie Nelson)



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 flesh 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...
