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
