Never on the Day You Leave

No it's never on the day you leave
 That you wonder what you still believe in
 And you can't remember why you said goodbye
 You'll hear an old familiar sound
 And hope it's her when you turn around
 But never, never on the day you leave
 Love grows in the time it's been
 Since you last heard her sing
 She'll cut her hair and move somewhere
 She don't owe you anything
 ♪
 No it's never on the day you leave
 You can tell how it's gonna be
 To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes
 You wish you'd given her one more kiss
 To put away for a night like this
 But never, never on the day you leave
 Love grows in the time it's been
 Since you last held her hand
 She'll fight for you like hell
 Then force herself to like some other man
 ♪
 No it's never on the day you leave
 That you remember Christmas Eve
 And all the things you miss about her crazy family
 You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree
 But never, never on the day you leave
 No never, never on the day you leave
 So it'd be better off to write her
 And leave a little note right there beside her
 That says maybe we're not perfect
 But I'll be damned if I ever leave
 Damned if I ever leave
 Damned if I ever leave
