Never Said Goodbye

(Koren/Warren)

SOCAN 2007

From the corner of my eye

Is that you I see, walkin' away again?

Are you watchin' me?

I want that, I need that

Tell me the truth

Doo, doo, la, la, la, lovin' you yeah

Ever since you've been gone

Doo, doo, la, la, la, lovin' you that's all I do

You never said goodbye

I know you never meant to leave

Yeah the woman in me knows that for sure

But the girl, cries herself to sleep

Did you love me, do you love me still

Tell me the truth

Doo, doo, la, la, la, lovin' you yeah

Ever since you've been gone

Doo, doo, la, la, la, lovin' you that's all I do

Remember, sunny days

I remember, the way

You told me not to cry after you were gone

Doo, doo, la, la, la, lovin' you that's all I do

You never said goodbye

you never said goodbye

you never said goodbye

I want that, I need that

Tell me the truth, you never said goodbye

you never said goodbye

Did you love me, do you love me still

Tell me the truth, you never said goodbye

you never said goodbye

Have Mercy

Have mercy, on my soul

Have mercy, cause I look to you for shelter

In the night, when I'm lonely

It's your arms, that console me

And you know I have to say

I'm never gonna do it again

You can trust in me to love you

I'm never gonna do it again

Please believe me, have mercy

On my soul

If ever, I should stray

I'd never, run so far away

That your arms, couldn't reach me

And your heart, will always teach me

How to love

I'm never gonna do it again

You can trust in me to love you

I'm never gonna do it again

Please believe me, have mercy

On my soul

I'm never gonna do it again

You can trust in me to love you

I'm never gonna do it again

Trust in me

I'm never gonna do it again

You can trust in me to love you

I'm never gonna do it again

Please believe me,  have mercy

On my soul

Can't Take it with You

You can't take it with you

So baby, give it up now

You can't take it with you

You know, you've got to learn how

People try to bring you down

They try to make you feel like a clown

But you don't have to play that game

Cause baby you're just acting the same

You can't take it with you

So baby, give it up now

You can't take it with you

You know, you've got to learn how

People to my left and right

They always cause a fuss and a fight

I just have to stop and frown

And tell them that they're bringin' me down

Bein' true to yourself

Bein' good to each other

Bein' true to yourself

Bein' good to each other

You can't take it with you

So baby, give it up now

You can't take it with you

You know, you've got to learn how

You can't, take it with you

You can't, take it with you

You cant', take it with you

You can't, take it with you

Bottom of My List

There's so many things to do today

I don't have time to dream away

But I'd love a cup of tea

My head is full of things to do

But I just wanna sit with you

And talk about our lives

My friend our days are short

Look at how, the time passes by

And I've almost made it to

The bottom of my list

There's laundry and dishes

The cat litter squishes

And I'm goin' out of my mind

There's groceries and vacuuming

I'm not finished packing

Somebody turn back the time

My friend our days are short

Look at how the time passes by

And I've almost made it to

The bottom of my list

It may sound crazy , but,

Bein' busy's just so much fun

There's so many things to do today

But I just wanna run away

And dream about our lives

My friend our days are short

Look at how the time passes by

And I've almost made it to

The bottom of my

My friend our days are short

Look at how the time passes by

And I've almost made it to

The bottom of my list

Go Away

Do I have to say the words? it's as clear as day

How can I get it through? there must be a way

To open your eyes and make you see

That you are not the one for me

But that's okay

I'll wait another day

Maybe another day

Time and time again you want me to stay

But I just can't believe you won't go away

You're makin' me sad, you make me blue

Cause I am not the one for you

But that's okay

I'll wait another day

Maybe another day

I see you, you're smilin', you're walkin' away

But that look in your eyes tells me you wanna stay

I'm reachin' for something to help you understand

That someday, somebody, will want you for her man

Do I have to spell it out? it's as clear as day

I'm beggin' you to go, you want me to stay

But walking down the aisle with you

Is not something that I can do

Don't take it the wrong way

Cause I think you're okay

But baby not today

On The Run

I’ve waited for the day to come

When I would find someone

To pick me up and hang around

Who’d never let me down

You gave me things I never had

You promised love through good and bad

I need you now and I don’t wanna play

My baby’s on the run tonight

He’s lookin’ for a place to hide

But love is gonna find a way

To make him mine tonight

Thinkin’ all your fears were dead

I took you by the hand

But you would never let me in

Or help me understand

I’d wash away your tears at night

The ones that kept you from the light

I’ll set you free and let you find your way

Baby’s on the run tonight

He’s lookin’ for a place to hide

But you know love will find a way

To make him mine tonight

I see you, I feel you

I won’t let go

I see you, I feel you

I won’t let go

I gave you love you never had

Your wicked ways just drive me mad

I love you more with every passing day

Baby’s on the run tonight

He’s lookin’ for a place to hide

But you know love can find a way

To make him mine tonight

Baby’s on the run tonight

He’s leavin’ all the world behind

But you know love can find a way

To make him mine tonight

Baby’s on the run tonight

He’s lookin’ for a place to hide

But love is gonna find a way

To make him mine tonight

Sun Went Down

The summer's coming to an end

I thought I'd call on you my friend

Those days spent at the beach,

are almost out of reach

They're coming to an end,

my lover and my friend

When the sun went down

When the sun went down

There was nobody else around

Then I held you in my arms

When the sun went down

And we tried not to make a sound

Then I held you in my arms

When the sun went down

I wanna walk along with you

and talk about all we've been through

It seems so far away,

that warm and summer day

You had so much to do,

to make your dreams come true

When the sun went down

When the sun went down

There was nobody else around

Then I held you in my arms

When the sun went down

And we tried not make a sound

Then I held you in my arms

When the sun went down

There was nobody else around

Then I held you in my arms

When the sun went down

And we tried not to make a sound

Then I held you in my arms

When the sun went down

When the sun went down

When the sun went down

I Love

The faucet is leaking

The neighbours are fighting

Over money or drugs,

or some girl that they met

Down at the bar

I’m layin’ here dreamin’

Thinkin’ bout the future

About all of the things that I’ll do when I’m gone from here

For good

I can’t fall asleep without you

And I don’t wanna be without you

You know it’s true

You know it’s you I love

I love

The children are sleeping

The noise doesn’t wake them

But it scares me enough to put the bolt on the door

Once more

I’m drinkin’ my coffee

It’s three in the morning

The neighbours have all gone to bed but I’m still sittin’ here

Writing this song

I can’t fall asleep without you

And I don’t wanna be without you

You know it’s true

You know it’s you I love

I love

Now the pillow is softer

The blanket is warmer

As you crawl into bed, and turn out the light

And kiss me goodnight

I can’t fall asleep without you

And I don’t wanna be without you

You know it’s true

You know it’s you I love

I love

I love

I love

The faucet’s still leaking

The neighbours are still fighting
