Porter Wagoner – I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye lyrics

I had not planned on seeing you I was afraid of what I'd do
But pride is strong and here am I I just can't let you say goodbye
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 I just can't let you say goodbye
What force behind your evil mind can make your lips speak so unkind
The one who loves as much as I 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 I just can't let you say goodbye
Your voice is still now it speaks no more you'll never hurt me anymore
You know death is a friend to love and I cause now you'll never say goodbye
