We thought our love was over
That we were really through
I said I didn't love him
That we'd begin anew
And you can all believe me
Were sure on camera too
But we just couldn't say goodbye

A caravan of sulphur
We both got up and cried
The troops all started waving
For me to come inside
I tell you confidentially
That tears were hard to hide
But we just couldn't say goodbye

The clock was striking 12 o'clock
and looked on us below
With folded hands it seems to say
We'll miss you if you go

So I would like to kiss him
And when I looked around
The room was singing love songs
And dancing up and down
And now we're both so happy
Because I'm lost and found
But we just couldn't say goodbye
