DON’T EVER GO AWAY

I just want to say
Thanks for yesterday, it was awfully nice of you
If you ever go away, I don’t know what I’ll do

Is it true you never get depressed?
You just think of it all as some kind of test?
I wish I could, too, be a bit more like you
Until then

You always seem to say the words I cannot find
And the things I cannot touch, you make me feel they could be mine
Is it true you never feel betrayed?
Even when the ones you love have gone away?
I wish I could, too, be a bit more like you
Until then

Fortunes won and lost, though it’s hard for me to see
That regardless of the cost, it’s all still here for me
I suppose I’ll learn to be my best
When all the other me’s take their rest
Until then I’ll try to be a bit more like you
Until then

I won’t make a big to-do, just the occasional “thank you”
Despite my touch of blue, we’ll paint this town red, me and you
I won’t say it, though I know it’s true
I’m not sure I’d make it if it were not for you
Perhaps one day I’ll find a way
The right time, the right words to say
Until then

Don’t ever go away
Don’t ever go away, you’re so awfully nice
Never go away, you’re so awfully nice
Never go away, you’re so awfully nice
Never go away, you’re so awfully nice
Never go away, you’re so awfully nice

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.

DON’T EVER GO AWAY
