Lyrics Willie Nelson – I Just Can’t Let You Say Goodbye

I had not planned on seeing you
I was afraid of what I’d do
But pride is strong and here am I

And I just can’t let you say goodbye

What force behind your evil mind
Can let your lips speak so unkind
To one who loves as much as I

And I just can’t let you say goodbye

The flesh around your throat is pale
Intended by my fingernails
Please don’t scream, please don’t cry

‘Cause I just can’t let you say goodbye

Your voice is still it speaks no more
You’ll never hurt me anymore
Death is a friend to love and I

‘Cause now you’ll never say goodbye

I had not planned on seeing you
I was afraid of what I’d do
But pride is strong and here am I

Now you’ll never say goodbye
