As If We Never Said Goodbye

Glee Cast · The Music, Volume 6 [2011]

I dont know why I'm frightened

I know my way around here

The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here

Yes, a world to rediscover,

But I'm not in any hurry,

And I need a moment.



The whispered conversations

In overcrowded hallways.

The atmosphere as thrilling here as always.

Feel the early morning madness,

Feel the magic in the making,

Why, everythings as if we never said goodbye.



I've spent so many mornings

Just trying to resist you.

I'm trembling now, you cant know how I've missed you.

Missed the fairy tale adventures

In this ever spinning playground.

We were young together.



I'm coming out of makeup,

The lights already burning.

Not long until the cameras will start turning.

And the early morning madness,

And the magic in the making,

Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye.



I dont want to be alone,

That's all in the past.

This world's waited long enough,

I've come home at last.



And this time will be bigger

And brighter than we knew it.

So watch me fly, we all know I can do it.

Could I stop my hand from shaking,

Has there ever been a moment

With so much to live for?



The whispered conversations

In overcrowded hallways.

So much to say, not just today, but always.

We'll have early morning madness,

We'll have magic in the making,

Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye.



*Oh please, don't ever, ever make me say goodbye*

As If We Never Said Goodbye

Performed by the Glee Cast, this track appears on The Music, Volume 6, a compilation celebrating the series' sixth season. The song draws inspiration from the 1980s new wave and pop-rock era, featuring a melodic structure reminiscent of artists like The Go-Go's and early Madonna. It was originally recorded for the television show Glee, where the ensemble reimagined the classic hit with their signature vocal harmonies and dramatic delivery. The recording captures the emotional core of the original composition while embodying the show's signature blend of period-specific music and contemporary performance style. Released as part of the show's broader musical catalog, the track serves as a tribute to the original song's enduring appeal and its ability to resonate across generations.
