Lyrics

Never Say Goodbye

[Verse 1]

Twilight on the frozen lake

North wind about to break

On footprints in the snow

Silence down below

[Verse 2]

You’re beautiful beyond words

You’re beautiful to me

You can make me cry

Never say goodbye

[Verse 3]

Time is all I have to give

You can have it if you choose

With me you can live

Never say goodbye

[Verse 4]

My dreams are made of iron and steel

With a big bouquet

Of roses hanging down

From the heavens to the ground

[Verse 5]

The crashing waves roll over me

As I stand upon the sand

Wait for you to come

And grab hold of my hand

[Verse 6]

Oh, baby, baby, baby blue

You’ll change your last name, too

You’ve turned your hair to brown

Love to see it hanging’ down
