I never used to think of all the time   I never used to think of all   you'd sacrifice for everyone else   I never realized how high you climbed   I never learned my lessons   still you picked me up every time I fell   I want you to know how much I love you   I want you to know there's so much of you   in everything that I am   And I still believe you'll be here with me   in the spring but now it's wintertime   So I call you on the phone   you never made me feel alone   And I'll never say goodbye   Because in my mind you're always in my heart   always validated everything I feel   Never say goodbye   cause it's only time that's keeping us apart   Shouldn't have to answer any questions   Shouldn't have to put up with all those headaches   that you really don't need   This should be a time of your reflection   You don't need doctors don't need lawyers   telling you what you need   You finally climbed the mountain   you should get to enjoy the view of the other side   And if you should leave me that's okay   this world's all impermanence anyway   Did some things that made you cry   I never thought I'd live to see you die   I'll never say goodbye   Never down with superficial scenes   They'll never hook you up to their machines   Lived you life with so much dignity   you were always there for me   I'll never say goodbye
