Never

I said I�d never let you go,
I�d love you come what may -
You said you�d never let me down,
Nothing would stand in our way -

          But never is forever -- It�s always and a day.
          Never is a long, long, time!

I said I�d never speak to you,
I never wanted to see you again -
I said I�d never hold you close,
Nor dream our dreams of happiness.

I said I�d never trust you,
I�d never again have faith in you -
I�d never help -- I�d never share,
I�d never want your sympathy.

          But never is forever -- It�s always and a day.
          Never is a long, long, time!

I cried and said I�d never stop,
I shook and said I�m sorry -
I promised you I�d never ever
Scream or shout or hurt you any more.

I said I�d never be mean to you,
I�d treat you with love and respect -
I said I�d never get mad again,
I�d never be childish and cruel.

          But never is forever -- It�s always and a day.
          Never is a long, long, time!

So I said I never cared for you,
You were just a bad habit with me,
I never meant those wedding vows -
I never felt happier to finally be free.

And I said I�d never take you back,
I�d never forgive you this time -
You�d never change, You�d never learn -
You�d never appreciate me for what I am.

          But never is forever -- It�s always and a day.
          Never is a long, long, time!

I�ll never lose my many faults -
I�ll never tame my temper -
I�ll never silence my angry words,
Even though I�ll never quit trying -

          But never is forever -- It�s always and a day.
          Never is a long, long, time!

I�ll never be at peace while you�re gone.
I�ll never stop feeling unworthy and wrong.
The world will keep going on and on
And each day will remind me anew --



No matter what I�ve said or I�ve done ------

          I�ll never stop loving you!
