Never Got To Say Goodbye To You

When your sister called today I just couldn't believe the news I just can't seem to understand That I'll never talk to you You were a beauty & a flower & a laughing dancing man Running through the streets of Sagress With port wine in your hand

& I know I never did enough Like a true friend really would & I wish that I could talk to you Hey I'd be there if I could But it's much too late & I realise I'm feeling like a fool But I never ever got to say I never ever got to say No I never got to say goodbye to you

My heart is aching deep inside It's as empty as a well It's as empty as the promises I never seem to fill I can hold your picture to my heart & think fine thoughts of you Running through the old train station With tickets in your hand Yeah running through the streets of Tanjir With tickets in your hand

& I know I never did enough Like a true friend really would & I wish that I could talk to you Hey I'd be there if I could But it's much too late & I realise I'm feeling like a fool But I never ever got to say I never ever got to say No I never got to say goodbye to you

Now I call your sister on the phone No words have I to say Just a bad connection line a 1000 miles away You were a beauty & a flower & a laughing dancing man Running in the rain in London With tickets in your hand Yeah riding on the tube in London With tickets in your hand

& I know I never did enough Like a true friend really would & I wish that I could talk to you Hey I'd be there if I could But it's much too late & I realise I'm feeling like a fool But I never ever got to say I never ever got to say No I never got to say goodbye to you Yeah I never got to say goodbye to you
