THAT'LL BE THE DAY
By Jerry Allison, Buddy Holly and Norman Petty


WELL, THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE,
YEAH, 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 LOVING,
AND ALL YOUR TURTLE DOVING,
ALL YOUR HUGS AND KISSES,
AND YOUR MONEY TOO.
YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME, BABY,
AND STILL YOU TELL ME BABY,
THAT SOMEDAY, WELL I'LL BE THROUGH

'CAUSE, THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN YOU MAKE ME CRY,
THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE,
YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE, YOU KNOW IT'S A LIE,
'CAUSE THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN I DIE.

THE HONKY TONK!

YEH, THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE,
YEH, 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, WHEN CUPID SHOT HIS DART,
HE SHOT IT AT YOUR HEART,
SO IF WE'LL EVER PART
AND I'LL LEAVE TOO,
AND YOU SAY YOU CALL ME
AND YOU TELL ME BOLDLY
THAT SOME DAY, WELL, I'LL BE THROUGH.

'CAUSE THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE,
YEH, 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.

YEAH, THAT'LL BE THE DAY, UH-HUH,
THAT'LL BE THE DAY, UH-HUH,
THAT'LL BE THE DAY, UH-HUH,
THAT'LL BE THE DAY
