Lyrics Leavin And Sayin' Goodbye - Faron Young

(Jeannie Seely)

So many times I′ve told you I was leavin'
And oh, so many times how I have tried
But sayin′ your leavin's so much easier
Than leavin' and sayin′ goodbye.

Every time I′d start to go
I wouldn't get ten feet
I′d go runnin' back like a runaway child
That′s afraid to cross the street.

And my mind might tell my lips to say it's over
My heart would only say it′s a lie
And sayin' your leavin's so much easier
Than leavin′ and sayin′ goodbye.

Yeah, every time I'd start to go
I wouldn′t get ten feet
I'd go runnin′ back like a runaway child
That's afraid to cross the street.

And my mind might tell my lips to say it′s over
My heart would only say it's a lie
And sayin' your leavin′s so much easier
Than leavin′ and sayin' goodbye.

Leavin′ and sayin' goodbye...
