Never Really Gone Lyrics

I hope you know, wherever you are

I'm always going to call you home

The years go by and I'm getting on

But I'm never gonna let you go

I'm sorry that I couldn't find

The words to put you into song

Somehow it just didn't feel right

But I know you'd have me carry on

You'd say

It's alright if you're too tired

We don't have to talk about it

We can just pick it up some other time

Don't cry just keep me in mind

And if you think about it

I am sure that you'll find that I am

Never really gone

I guess I was always afraid

If I put you in song I would give you away

Like you'd slip through my fingers

From the pen to the page

To become just one more tragedy

Sung from the stage

But you'd say

It's alright, you know I'd like

To be more than some memory you keep inside

So if you just write what comes to my mind

Think about it, I'm sure that you'll find that I am

Never really gone
