Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'No Goodbye,' from How The West Was Won
Thank you. Below is what I could make out of the audio. Often, a performer will change a word or two from what's actually on the page for a myriad of reasons. You can see a few word changes here in what I think the performer is singing.
Tell me not how you love me, Speak no words in my ear, Let your mouth say with kisses, What my heart wants to hear, What my heart wants to hear.
Hang no halo above me, Build no shrine to my charms, Fill your hands with caresses, Speak of love with your arms, Speak of love with your arms.
One word lightly spoken, Could break this lovely spell, My heart would be broken, If you should say farewell.
So, tell me not how you love me, Tender vows often lie Let your mouth speak with kisses, Take my kiss in reply.
