Can't We Talk It Over? 1931

We were so in love
the day love started,
who would think
that we would soon be parted?
I just can't believe it's true;
I make this appeal to you.

Can't we talk it over?
Let's talk it over
before you tell me you're through;
Can't we sit together
and figure whether
this is the right thing to do?
I hate the thought
of spending nights all alone,
Missing the thrill
of nights that we've known.
Can't we talk it over
before it's over?
Before you whisper:
"Goodbye for ever"
Let's talk it over, dear.

Can't we talk it over?
Let's talk it over
before you tell me you're through;
Can't we sit together
and figure whether
this is the right thing to do?
I hate the thought
of spending nights all alone,
Missing the thrill
of nights that we've known.
Can't we talk it over
before it's over?
Before you whisper:
"Goodbye for ever"
Let's talk it over, dear.

Saying that I'm sorry doesn't matter
asking to forget is idle chatter;
There must be a chance somehow,
That is why I'm asking now.

Can't we talk it over?
Let's talk it over
before you tell me you're through;
Can't we sit together
and figure whether
this is the right thing to do?
I hate the thought
of spending nights all alone,
Missing the thrill
of nights that we've known.
Can't we talk it over
before it's over?
Before you whisper:
"Goodbye for ever"
Let's talk it over, dear.

Can't we talk it over?
Let's talk it over
before you tell me you're through;
Can't we sit together
and figure whether
this is the right thing to do?
I hate the thought
of spending nights all alone,
Missing the thrill
of nights that we've known.
Can't we talk it over
before it's over?
Before you whisper:
"Goodbye for ever"
Let's talk it over, dear.
