Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying--Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five (1946)

Don't let the sun catch you crying
Crying at my front door
You done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more

Don't let the sun catch you lying
Lying at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
And baby, you made him so sore

You can cry, cry, cry
Yes baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail

Don't let the sun catch you crying
Crying at my front door
You done your daddy dirty
I tell you, he just don't want you no more

[Michael.SF.]

Not a breakup song in the strictest sense - more of a “Goodbye Song” but one heck of a good song:

The Flamingos - “Lovers Never say Goodbye”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2pXO21RH8E

Please wait for me; for I shall return;
My love for you will forever burn
Though we must part;
There’s no reason to cry
Just say so long;
Because lovers never say goodbye

I love you;
My darling more than life itself
I wouldn’t try to hurt you;
For I’d only be hurting my self

Just kiss me dear;
And hold me tight;
For you know this is not our last night
Though we must part;
There’s no reason to cry
Just say so long;
Because lovers never say goodbye

[Publius]
