Lyrics
NEVER SAID GOODBYE
You were only fourteen when you fell in love.
You never really mattered to the popular girls at school.
Your step-father was a drunken fool and violence was all he knew...
searchin' for a way out on your way home after school.
You told me in a phone call that you had run away.
I couldn't leave you hangin', I had to rescue you.
I made my way through the night to a cold a lonely you.
We held each other all night till the world just slipped away.
And we never said goodbye
But oh how I tried to just reach back through all these years and just say goodbye.
People started talkin' 'bout two kids on the run.
'said they shouldn't be together, love is too old for their age.
I yelled for you with teary eyes as they tackled you to the ground.
Our frightened eyes shared one last gaze as they drove you away.
Your family moved as mine did, so there'd be no way
for us to come together on some lucky-lonely day.
I often walk by your old house hoping you will do the same,
but still, the window's empty where we once drew our names.
And we never said goodbye
But oh how I tried to just reach back through all these years and just say goodbye.
No we never said Goodbye and ooh how I’ve cried, so I’m sending this song out to you…
baby goodbye.
You were only fourteen when you fell in love.
You never really mattered to the popular girls at school.
Your step-father was a drunken fool and violence was all he knew...
searchin' for a way out on your way home after school.
You told me in a phone call that you had run away.
I couldn't leave you hangin', I had to rescue you.
I made my way through the night to a cold a lonely you.
We held each other all night till the world just slipped away.
And we never said goodbye
But oh how I tried to just reach back through all these years and just say goodbye.
People started talkin' 'bout two kids on the run.
'said they shouldn't be together, love is too old for their age.
I yelled for you with teary eyes as they tackled you to the ground.
Our frightened eyes shared one last gaze as they drove you away.
Your family moved as mine did, so there'd be no way
for us to come together on some lucky-lonely day.
I often walk by your old house hoping you will do the same,
but still, the window's empty where we once drew our names.
And we never said goodbye
But oh how I tried to just reach back through all these years and just say goodbye.
No we never said Goodbye and ooh how I’ve cried, so I’m sending this song out to you…
baby goodbye.
