I want to write a song for you, dear Dad
So I’ll try, yes I’ll try
I’ll sing about the good times and the bad
Then I’ll cry, yes I’ll cry
All you ever wanted were the simple things in life
A story and a song – a family, a wife
And I never will forget that look of terror in your eye
The day before you left us
So we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
You never said I love you but it was there
In your eye, in your eye
Put everyone above you, you were scared
Tell me why, tell me why
You couldn’t tell us plainly
Just how you really cared
It pains and it frustrates me – all the things you never shared
But me and my three brothers could all see beyond the lie
You couldn’t bear the leaving
So we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
You never said I love you
You never really tried
Never said I love you
And I never will know why
I never said I love you
That day before you died
I never said I love you
And we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
Now that you have gone, we all can say
What we feel, really feel
Connections with our mother are today
Much more real, more real
You never meant to slight her but for sure that’s what you did
Repressed and undermined her through all the things you hid
But there was so much more unsaid, just hanging in the sky
That left us torn and tongue-tied
So we never said goodbye
No we never said goodbye
You never said I love you
You never really tried
Never said I love you
I never will know why
I never said I love you
That day before you died
I never said I love you
And we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
Did you miss the contradiction in what you did and said
As though a war was raging between your heart and head
To hide your inner feelings, talked down from up on high
You may have meant I love you but we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
You never said I love you
You never really tried
Never said I love you
I never will know why
I never said I love you
That day before you died
I never said I love you
And we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
No, we never said goodbye
