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
