We never said Goodbye
Gina Louise Roth 1973 (Pennsylvania)
It broke my heart to see you go for we're the reason why
It took forever but I learned on how to say goodbye
I often lay in bed at night and wonder reasons why
You never turned to me and said I have to leave goodbye
Wear that flag and wear it proud for you're a navy guy
We never had a chance to hug or even say goodbye
I think about you over there I simply want to die
What's the reason me and you never said goodbye
Was it too hard, you know I'd cry
Was that the reason for no goodbye
I think about you everyday and truly that's no lie
Now I know it's just too hard to ever say goodbye
All that's left for me to do is look up at the sky
And pray to God that I must never have to say goodbye
