"I Never Said Goodbye"

Words and music by Rick Richardson

When I said "I do", the words they were true, one hundred percent in my mind
I said them to you, but I didn't do, all the right things all the time
Yes I said the words, some joyed and some hurt, I even told you some lies
Sometimes I stood tall, Sometimes I would fall, but I never said goodbye

You gave me your hand, and the world was grand, you made me feel like I could fly
You counted on me, I counted on you, Sometimes I counted too high
I stifled your dreams, among other things, at times I caused you to cry
You never were sure, if my love was pure, but I never said goodbye

I gave you my heart, right from the start, I brought sunshine into your life
But sometimes it rained, and I wasn't the same, No matter how hard I tried
I rosied your day, elated your way, I brought happiness home many times
But sometimes I'd fall, in the middle of it all, but I never said goodbye

(LEAD)

I looked in your eyes and was caught by surprise, I knew for the rest of my life
I'd only love you, and always be true, and one day make you my wife
Yes I adored you, but I didn't do, all the right things all the time
Sometimes I stood tall, sometimes I would fall, but I never said goodbye

I gave you my heart, right from the start, I brought sunshine into your life
But sometimes it rained, and I wasn’t the same, and I left you wonderin' why
I rosied your day, but times I would stray, and not be there by your side
But one thing is true, I'm still lovin' you, and I never said goodbye
No I never said goodbye.
