We were so in love the day love started
Who would think that we would soon be parted
I just can’t believe it’s true
I make this appeal to you
Can’t we talk it over,
Let’s talk it over
Before you tell me you’re through
Can’t we sit together
And figure whether
This is the right thing to do
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we’ve known
Can’t we talk it over
Before it’s over
Before you whisper
Goodbye for ever
Let’s talk it over dear.
(Musical BreaK + Crosby type La-La’s and whistling)
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we’ve known
Can’t we talk it over
Before it’s over
Before you whisper
Goodbye for ever
Let’s talk it over dear.
