I'll Never Let You Go

Gilbert O'Sullivan · Rare Tracks [1992]

Ever since the day I saw you come my way,

I know that you were mine,

Nothing could prevent it, heaven must have sent it,

Oh and what a find,

From my head to my booted seams,

I'm living my wildest dreams,

I'm living my wildest dreams,

Now I think you know,

I'll never, never let you go

How can I express the misery

I get the minute you're away,

No sooner have you gone when everything is wrong,

And nothing is OK, Oh

I may not be a superman,

I'm hardly the type that can,

But I think you know, I'll never,

I'll never let you go,

Love may not be as good as it may seem,

Often it's a sad affair,

But for everyone that hits the rocks,

There's two that really get somewhere

Ever since the day I saw you come my way,

I know that you were mine,

Nothing could prevent it,

heaven must have sent it,

Oh and what a find,

There's so much that I want to say,

And if I can find a way,

I think you know I'll never,

I'll never let you go, No, no,

I'U never let you go,

Never, never let you go,

never, never let you go

Never, never let you go

o, never, never let you go

Never, never let you go,

never, never let you go

Never, never let you go,

never, never let you go
