I Never Said Goodbye

She cried and walked away just yesterday

And like a fool, I let her go

We had a silly fight the night before

I never said "I love you so"

I wept all day and then I got the call

"Would you please come to see your wife"

"Something has happened and it's very grave"

"We cannot save the lady's life"

No, I never said goodbye and I never really told her

Just how much she meant to me

No, I never said goodbye, now it's too late

And she's just a memory

How can I go on

Now that girl is gone

I will know, until I die

I never said goodbye

Her perfume lingers all around me now

A pair of shoes lie on the floor

The bed unmade, where just last night, she laid

I cannot say I closed the door

A shopping list of things she'll never buy

An apron lyin' on the chair

Is that her laugh I hear out in the hall

I turn and call, but she's not there

No, I never said goodbye

And I never really told her just how much she meant to me

No, I never said goodbye

Now it's too late and she's just a memory

How can I go on

Now that girl is gone

I will know, until I die

I never said goodbye
