1. You build it up and tear it down There's no reason to follow you You left the song without a sound You left the story I made for you Softly angels go and cry In the stillness of the night R: Never is a long time, goodbye No answers for the asking It's a long time, goodbye No mercy for the aching It's a long time, oh my See no light of love forsaken Never is a long time, goodbye Let's spend the night When this dream has come to an end 2. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry And yes I cried over you You left me blind in paradise You left me hungry for the touch of you Snow white angels run and hide In the blackness of the night R: Never is a long time, goodbye... Never is a long time Never is a long time
