I Can't Seem to Say Goodbye


"I Can't Seem to Say Goodbye" is a song written by Don Robertson and originally recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis during his time with Sun Records.
The recording didn't see the light of day until 1970, when it was included on the second Jerry Lee Lewis album released by the new owner of Sun Records, Shelby Singleton.
The song was also released as a single from that album, reaching number 6 on the Cash Box Country Singles chart and number 7 on the Billboard country chart.

Dylan introduced the song by telling the audience, "I don’t know how many of you know, but Jerry Lee’s gone. We’re gonna play this song, one of his. Jerry Lee will live forever – we all know that".
