NO GOODBYE
lyrics by Ken Darby, music by Alfred Newman

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.

(Boy)Let me love you in silence.
Let me know all your charms.
or (Girl) Let no word come between us
Sing no song to my charms,

Fill your hands with caresses,
Speak of love with your arms,
Speak of love with you 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,
Make no vow, tell no lie,
Let your mouth speak with kisses
Take my kiss in reply,
Then there can be no good bye.

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.

Then there can be no goodbye.
