Willie Nelson — I Just Cant 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 [Refrain] I just can't let you say goodbye [Verse 5] Your voice is still it speaks no more You'll never hurt me anymore Death is a friend to love and I [Refrain] 'Cause now you'll never say goodbye (Goodbye)
