Skeeter Davis Lyrics
"That'll Be the Day"

(Buddy Holly - Norman Petty - Jerry Allison)

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die.

Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle-dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me baby until you tell me maybe
That some day I'll be blue.

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die.

When Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me and you told me boldly
That some day I will be blue.

'Cause that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die.

That'll be the day that'll be the day.
That'll be the day that'll be the day when I die...
