The Everly Brothers – Goodbye Line lyrics

Verse 1
In a world so full of people
To think that there’s just one
And only one in life that’s right for you
Is the proposition
That makes couples come undone
And one that I have found to be untrue

Chorus
But you’re not one for reasons
That sound like alibis
You believe a man should toe the centre line
So if sorry’s not enough my love
And you need a reason why
Honey, let me sing another line

Verse 2
Search the whole world over
You’ll find men all the same
To play your part you need be made of stone
And surely as my heart beats fast
And blood flows through my veins
A man has got a right to be his own

Chorus
Ah but you’re not one for reasons
That sound like alibis
You believe a man should toe the centre line
So if sorry’s not enough my love
And you need a reason why
Honey, let me sing another line

Verse 3
The hardest is part of livin’
Is to face reality
Sometimes the bonds of love can bind too tight
And though love’s dream is fancy
It’s still just fantasy
In your heart and soul you’ll know I’m right

Chorus
But you’re not one for reasons
That sound like alibis
You believe a man should toe the centre line
So if sorry’s not enough my love
And you need a reason why
Then I guess it’s time to sing a goodbye line
Then I guess it’s time to sing a goodbye line
