Two blue roses tied in a string,
two blue hearts with nothing to sing
And nothing to do, theirs no more love between me and you
Three red Robins out on a line,
Four hands clapping all out of time
And all out of place,
there’s no more tenderness in your embrace

It seems like the sad times finally met
and the longer they stick around
The harder it gets
I want to say goodbye but I don’t wanna cry
I don’t wanna cry

It’s been praying on my mind what these changes could mean
You take the T.V, I’ll take the washing machine
To wash away tears I’ve been hiding all these years
I know most people won’t understand,
They’ll think we’ve been unfaithful or were acting offhand
But it’s a hell of a fight,
We wouldn’t contemplate if we weren’t sure, we weren’t right

There’ll be some many good times we won’t want to erase
A rose coloured dream to light the rest of our days
I want to say goodbye but I don’t wanna cry
I don’t wanna cry

I guess around December you’ll be thinking of me
And notice one less present ‘neath the Christmas tree
I’ll be thinking of you, it’s the natural thing to do
And I’ll raise my glass and welcome in the new year,
I’ll wish you well
And know that somewhere you’ll hear,
and we’ll be glad we said goodbye
And we’ll be glad we cried.
We’ll be glad we said goodbye
and we’ll be glad we cried

Oh Baby I don’t wanna cry ,
no Baby I don’t wanna cry

We’ll be glad we said goodbye
and we’ll be glad we cried

Yes, we’ll be glad we said goodbye
and we’ll be glad we cried
