Willie Nelson
I Just Can’t Let You Say Goodbye
[Verse 1]
I had not planned on seeing you
I was afraid of what I'd do
But pride is strong and here am I

[Refrain]
And I just can't let you say goodbye

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
I just can't let you say goodbye

[Verse 3]
What force behind your evil mind
Can make your lips speak so unkind
To one who loves as much as I

[Refrain]
But I just can't let you say goodbye

[Verse 4]
The flesh around your throat is pale
Intended by my fingernails
Please don't scream and please don't cry
