Artist/Band: Faron Young
Lyrics for Song: I've Come to Say Goodbye
Lyrics for Album: Story Songs of Mountains and Valleys [Mercury] [1964]



(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)



I haven't come to please

Like all the times before

The arms I used to need

Can't hold me anymore.



I haven't come to blame

I don't even ask you why

This time it's not the same

I've come to say goodbye.



No begging on my knees

Like all the times before

Are just the memories

I'm leaving at your door.



Don't ask me to explain

So I won't have to lie

I've gotta go away

And I've come to say goodbye.



No begging on my knees

Like all the times before

Are just the memories

I'm leaving at your door.



Don't ask me to explain

So I won't have to lie

I've gotta go away

And I've come to say goodbye.



Yes, I've just gotta go away

And I've come to say goodbye...
