Never On The Day You Leave

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
No, it's never on the day you leaveThat you wonder what you still believe inAnd you can't remember why you said goodbyeYou'll hear an old familiar soundAnd hope it's her when you turn aroundBut never, never on the day you leaveLove grows in the time it's beenSince you last heard her singShe'll cut her hair and move somewhereShe don't owe you anythingNo, it's never on the day you leaveYou can tell how it's gonna beTo watch a girl become a ghost before your eyesYou wish you'd given her one more kissTo put away for a night like thisBut never, never on the day you leaveLove grows in the time it's beenSince you last held her handShe'll fight for you like hellThen force herself to like some other manNo, it's never on the day you leaveThat you remember Christmas EveAnd all the things you miss about her crazy familyYou'll know how lonely it is to seeA little drug store Christmas treeBut never, never on the day you leaveNo never, never on the day you leaveSo it'd be better off to write herAnd leave a little note right there beside herThat says maybe we're not perfectBut I'll be damned if I ever leaveDamned if I ever leaveDamned if I ever leave
