Just Partners by Rex Griffin Lyrics

Why not be just partners for awhile
I don’t want to call you sweetheart now
At parting just a handshake and a smile
Then there’ll be no tears or broken vows
It’s better that we never fall in love
We’ll be partners if you do your part
We’ll be the best of friends
And partners to the end
I couldn’t bear another broken heart

I must admit that you are pure as gold, dear
I know I like you better than the rest
But I’m afraid to tell the story old, dear
I’ll never take another losing guess

Why not be just partners for awhile
I don’t want to call you sweetheart now
At parting just a handshake and a smile
Then there’ll be no tears or broken vows
It’s better that we never fall in love
We’ll be partners if you do your part
We’ll be the best of friends
And partners to the end
I couldn’t bear another broken heart
Just be the same each time we are alone, dear
Don’t let the love light shine within your eyes
There’ll be no aching heart when you are gone, dear
We’ll never have to say a sad goodbye

Why not be just partners for awhile
I don’t want to call you sweetheart now
At parting just a handshake and a smile
Then there’ll be no tears or broken vows
It’s better that we never fall in love
We’ll be partners if you do your part
We’ll be the best of friends
And partners to the end
I couldn’t bear another broken heart
