I'll Never Say Goodbye

Pete Seeger · Other Songs - Pete Seeger

Say goodbye,

Why, I can barley say goodbye.

If I can hardly take my eyes from yours,

How far can I go?

Walk away,

The thought would never cross my mind.

I couldn't turn my back on this spring of hope,

Your smiling stubborn.

When I say always,

I mean forever.

I trust tomorrow as much as today.

I'm not afraid to say,

I love you.

And I promise you,

I'll never say goodbye.

With dances on a crowded floor,

While other dances live from song to song,

Our music goes on, on, and on.

And if I never leave your arms,

I really will have traveled everywhere,

For my world is there.

When I say always,

I mean forever.

I trust tomorrow as much as today.

I'm not afraid to say,

I love you.

And I promise you,

I'll never say goodbye.

How could I ever say goodbye?
