I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye

(アルバム： The Cold Hard Facts Of Life - 1967)

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 fresh 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
