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
