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
