Tom Jones I Couldn’t Say Goodbye I play banjo so I have it capo at 3 tuning G [Verse] I watch you as you’re sleeping As I’m standing at the door I don’t want to let you go But I can’t hold on anymore I just can’t find the strength To say I’m leaving you It’s over now it’s over now And there’s nothing I can do [Chorus] I couldn’t say goodbye Couldn’t stand the pain Couldn’t watch you cry Knowing that your heart would break So I let you sleep Till the morning light When you wake up and you read the note I write Telling you that I          I couldn’t say goodbye                          [Verse] I’m walking down this rainy street Thinking you’re awake by now As you read my letter    And the tears fall from your eyes Just know I tried to make it work It just wasn’t meant to be I needed you I needed you But not the way you needed me [Chorus] I couldn’t say goodbye Couldn’t stand the pain Couldn’t watch you cry Knowing that your heart would break So I let you sleep Till the morning light When you wake up and you read the note I write Telling you that I          I couldn’t say goodbye                          [Bridge] I didn’t mean to hurt you I didn’t want to make you cry It’s over now yes it’s over now I just couldn’t say goodbye [Chorus] I couldn’t say goodbye Couldn’t stand the pain Couldn’t watch you cry Knowing that your heart would break So I let you sleep Till the morning light When you wake up and you read the note I write Telling you that I          I couldn’t say goodbye

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une séparation difficile où l'auteur observe son amante endormie, tiraillé par l’idée de la laisser. Il éprouve une profonde douleur à l'idée de lui dire adieu, préférant la laisser ignorant des problèmes qui les touchent. Dans ses pensées, il réalise qu'il a besoin d'elle, mais pas de la même manière qu'elle a besoin de lui. Finalement, il choisit de lui écrire une lettre pour expliquer ses sentiments, tout en espérant qu'elle comprendra sa décision, même si cela ne signifie pas qu'il ne l'aime pas.
