|
When death came calling today |
|
I heard the gentle grace of his cadences |
|
I couldn't say no |
|
I couldn't say no |
|
When he showed me his new silk scarves |
|
Laid out on a shiny black plastic tray |
|
Couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say no |
|
I couldn't say no |
|
And I'm sorry I couldn't |
|
Do you know how badly I wanted to? |
|
Didn't want, didn't want, didn't want, didn't want, didn't want to lose you |
|
But his smile was dazzling |
|
And his eyes were sparkling |
|
Like moonlight on the water at midnight |
|
Couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say no |
|
I couldn't say no |
