Barry White
I Just Couldn’t Take A Goodbye
[Verse 1]
Don't you say
"I love you forever"
Just because
We lie here together

[Pre-Chorus]
But darling, don't build my hopes up so high
That if ever you'd leave I would die

[Chorus]
Yes I would die after knowing your kindness
Hearing you promise
Then have you tell me "goodbye"
After knowing your kindness, hearing you promise
I just couldn't take a goodbye

[Verse 2]
Say, it's been
"Something to remember"
A flame once broad
But now just an ember

[Pre-Chorus]
But darling don't takе me up to the sky
Break my wings and еxpect me to fly
[Chorus]
How could I fly after knowing your kindness
Hearing you promise
Then have you tell me "goodbye"
After knowing your kindness, hearing you promise
I just couldn't take a goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
But darling don't take me up to the sky
Break my wings, then expect me to fly

[Chorus]
How could I fly after knowing your kindness
Hearing you promise
Then have you tell me "goodbye"
After knowing your kindness, hearing your promise
I just couldn't take a goodbye
Oh, no, no
