I Didnt Get to Say Goodbye by Tom Kitt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've lived a lifetime with you
Watched all of our dreams come true
Spent countless hours consumed with the science of brushing your hair
We've weathered many a storm, 'cause we kept each other warm
In this world of uncertainty, you have always been there
But now I don't see you, now I can't hear you
My only companion's this hospital bed that is cold and dry
And I didn't get to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
I tried to escape this haze
And return to better days
When holding your hand was my only aspiration in life
For time it was you and mе, then we started a family
And in thosе faces I always could see my beautiful wife
But now those memories, burst past like the gentle breeze
And no one seems to know the reason why
I didn't get to say goodbye
No I didn't get to say goodbye
[Bridge]
Our time on this earth is short
We blink and a life has passed
We make a vow til death do us part
But the parting comes too fast
The least we can expect at the end of a wild ride
Is our loved ones will be at our side
But this year even that has been denied
[Verse 3]
It's been two months of fear
Two months wondering if you're near
Two months of not knowing what outcome would be best
Your family calls every day, which helps keep my fears at bay
In this moment I simply ask of them one request
If they should happen to see, the girl that was life to me
Tell her my one true regret is that I
Couldn't tell her once more that I love her
Couldn't spend one more minute holding her
And I didn't get to say goodbye
No I didn't get to say goodbye
I've lived a lifetime with you
Watched all of our dreams come true
Spent countless hours consumed with the science of brushing your hair
We've weathered many a storm, 'cause we kept each other warm
In this world of uncertainty, you have always been there
But now I don't see you, now I can't hear you
My only companion's this hospital bed that is cold and dry
And I didn't get to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
I tried to escape this haze
And return to better days
When holding your hand was my only aspiration in life
For time it was you and mе, then we started a family
And in thosе faces I always could see my beautiful wife
But now those memories, burst past like the gentle breeze
And no one seems to know the reason why
I didn't get to say goodbye
No I didn't get to say goodbye
[Bridge]
Our time on this earth is short
We blink and a life has passed
We make a vow til death do us part
But the parting comes too fast
The least we can expect at the end of a wild ride
Is our loved ones will be at our side
But this year even that has been denied
[Verse 3]

Two months wondering if you're near
Two months of not knowing what outcome would be best

No I didn't get to say goodbye
