I Won't Say Goodbye

The version of 'I won't say Goodbye' above was created in 2025:

"I'd like to have been a lover,
A loving song to sing,
I wish I'd been some other,
And done a different thing.

But life has passed me by,
On the other side.
I've been waiting most all of my life,
For the turn in the tide.

I won't say goodbye,
I won't say goodbye now.
I won't say goodbye,
I won't say goodbye now.

I'd like to have been a mother,
To a blue-eyed child,
I think I'd have made her happy,
I think I'd have made her smile

She's gone and never knew me,
Never knew me at all,
I've been waiting most all of my life,
For her to call.

I won't say goodbye,
I won't say goodbye now.
I won't say goodbye,
I won't say goodbye now.

Who danced the dancers?
Who sang the song?
Who had all the answers?
Who got it wrong?

Though the river runs dry now,
Still the river I'll ride,
I've been waiting most all of my life,
For the turn in the tide.

Sometimes when you've had enough,
You just want to lay down and die,
But if you still believe in love,
You won't say goodbye.

I won't say goodbye,
I won't say goodbye now.
I won't say goodbye,
I won't say goodbye This time around."

'I Won't Say Goodbye' was written in 1990 and the vocal on the above version added in 2017.
