This Heart of Mine (Can Never Say Goodbye)
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
My lips will say goodbye to you tomorrow
I'll walk away pretend I'll feel no sorrow
But when you're out of sight I know I'll cry
For this heart of mine can never say goodbye.
No this heart of mine can never say goodbye to you
Even though sweetheart these lips of mine will lie
Though you leave my arms and walk away for other
This heart of mine can never say goodbye.
I'll never let you know how much it hurts me
Tomorrow when I kiss you my last time
I'll walk away and I won't even cry
But this heart of mine can never say goodbye.
No this heart of mine can never say goodbye to you
Even though sweetheart these lips of mine will lie
Though you leave my arms and walk away for other
This heart of mine can never say goodbye...
