Joey Smallwood from the President's home town wanted this one. It was
done most recently by Neal McCoy, but I remember Eddy Arnold's version.
This is the way I remember Eddy doing it, so if you want it like Neal,
compare it to his version -- I seem to remember that it was a little
different though I didn't pay that much attention.
THEN YOU CAN TELL ME GOODBYE
Recorded by EDDY ARNOLD/NEAL McCOY
KISS ME EACH MORNING FOR A MILLION YEARS
HOLD ME EACH EVENING BY YOUR SIDE
TELL ME YOU LOVE ME FOR A MILLION YEARS
THEN IF IT DON'T WORK OUT, THEN IF IT DON'T WORK OUT,
THEN YOU CAN TELL ME GOODBYE
SWEETEN MY COFFEE WITH A MORNING KISS
SOFTEN MY DREAMS WITH YOUR SIGH
AFTER YOU'VE LOVED ME FOR A MILLION YEARS
THEN IF IT DON'T WORK OUT, THEN IF IT DON'T WORK OUT,
THEN YOU CAN TELL ME GOODBYE
(CHORUS)
IF YOU MUST GO, I WON'T GRIEVE
IF YOU JUST WAIT A LIFETIME, BEFORE YOU LEAVE
(VERSE)
IF YOU MUST GO, I WON'T SAY NO
JUST SO WE CAN SAY THAT WE TRIED
TELL ME YOU LOVE ME FOR A MILLION YEARS
THEN IF IT DON'T WORK OUT, THEN IF IT DON'T WORK OUT,
THEN YOU CAN TELL ME GOODBYE
