Didn't Get To Say Goodbye

Verse

I pulled into the drive, just past midnight,

The porch light on, but something didn’t feel right.

Her favorite song was playing low inside,

But silence met me when I crossed that line.

Verse

I found her there, still as the morning dew,

No warning signs, no last words to hold on to.

Her coffee cup was sitting by the chair,

Like she’d be back, like she was still there.

Chorus

I didn’t get to say goodbye,

Didn’t hold her hand or hear her sigh.

No final kiss, no tearful cry,

Just echoes in an empty sky.

I’d give the world for one more try,

But I didn’t get to say goodbye.

Verse

The pictures on the wall still smile at me,

Her laughter lingers in the memories.

I talk to her like she’s still around,

But all I hear is the quiet sound.

Bridge

If love could turn back time somehow,

I’d be there, I’d be with her now.

But life don’t wait, and hearts still break,

When fate decides what it will take.

Chorus

I didn’t get to say goodbye,

Didn’t hold her hand or hear her sigh.

No final kiss, no tearful cry,

Just echoes in an empty sky.

I’d give the world for one more try,

But I didn’t get to say goodbye.

Outro

So I light a candle every night,

And whisper low beneath the moonlight…

“I love you still, and I always will—

Even though I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
