Never a Right Time

Never a right time Vs 1 There's never a right time, to ever say goodbye, Now that the love has died... I just can't try Vs 2 Your memory never fades, You'll be with me everyday, You'll always have a place, here in my mind Chorus So, when you find out that I'm gone baby don't cry. I just couldn't find the courage to say goodbye. When you understand... why I went away, Remember me and smile, then, turn the page Vs 3 There's no time left to say, but, I'm grateful for each day, You won't believe how hard, it is to leave Vs 4 Too bad we're out of time, love rarely turns out right, At least the lights burned out, after burning bright Chorus So, when you find out that I'm gone baby don't cry. I just couldn't find the courage to say goodbye. When you understand... why I went away, Remember me and smile, then, turn the page Outro When you understand... why I went away, Remember me and smile... then turn the page There's never a right time... to ... ever ... say ... goodbye...

Hi John. I see your lyrical creations are as wonderful as ever. There's never a good time or right time to say farewell to one you love. I feel your lines quite deeply.

I totally understand that, John. Whether I write lyrics or poems, many that I begin turn out to be moody, even when I'm not feeling blue.

Thanks Lin I'm glad you came by and liked it enough to comment, sometimes(actually most times) my songs come out sad, funny because I'm not sad but I guess there's a reason.

Thanks Jan, it came to me last night out of the blue, it's kinda nice when that happens, not feeling inspired much lately, must be pandemic fatigue. Maybe this is a sign my creativity is coming back. I appreciate your kind visit!
