Written and Composed by Clifton Davis
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I never can say goodbye
1st Verse
Even though the pain and heartache Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I tried and tried to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say "No"
Tell me why is it so?
That I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I never can say goodbye girl
2nd Verse
Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
That's piercing me right to the core
It says "Turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more"
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go!
Chorus
I never can say goodbye girl, uh baby
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, uh
I never can say goodbye girl, uh, uh
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, uh
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I never can say goodbye
3rd Verse
I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And there's that anguish
There's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so?
Don't wanna let you go!
Chorus
I never can say goodbye girl, uh baby
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, uh
I never can say goodbye girl, uh
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, uhThe words of her promise
The flame of her faith
The love that would never drift away
Where did they go Lord, where did they go?
You know somehow forever
Slipped out of my hands
And my dreams ran away with the wind
Where did they go Lord, where did they go
You know sometimes I wish
I had lost her to another
Well but Lord she just walked off all alone
But all that is within me is the bitter just ending
And bewildered because her love is gone
Oh the passion I trusted
The truth that I leaned on
And the hope that would forever keep me strong
I cry out my questions
Oh, the answers are all gone
Where did they go Lord, tell me where did they go
Where did they go Lord, tell me where did they go
