Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye - Casinos, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye (Casinos, The, 1967). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2023-10-11. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye," written by John D. Loudermilk, was the Casinos' only top 40 hit rising to the no. 6 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1967 (Whitburn, 2013). Other artists who charted with the song include Glen Campbell (no. 27, 1976 as a medley "Don't Pull Your Love/Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye, which also hit the no. 4 position on the Billboard Country Songs chart)," Toby Beau (no. 57, 1979) and Eddie Arnold (no. 84, 1968). Arnold's version, however, rose to the number one position on the Billboard Country chart and in 1996, Neal McCoy had a no. 4 hit on the Country chart (songfacts, 2023; Whitburn, 2013). Songfacts stated: "The odds of this becoming a pop hit in '67 weren't great. The Casinos' doo-wop stylings and clean-cut image were falling out of fashion by the mid-'60s as America was firmly in the grip of Beatlemania, and long-haired, blue-jeans-wearing youths were embracing the laid-back hippie aesthetic. . .

[Lead singer Gene] Hughes attributed the success to luck" . . . He said "work hard and sometimes luck happens "(2023).

Lyrics:
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening at your side
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sighs
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
But if you must go
Mm, I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
