I never stopped loving you

We were young, we thought we had time,

I let you go,

thought I'd be fine.

The years moved on,

and so did we,

But you were always part of me.

Not every day, but more than most,

I'd feel the ache of what I'd lost.

And every time our eyes would meet,

The world would vanish beneath my feet.

If I could turn one moment round,

I'd never let you walk away.

But all I have are words too late,

And things I never got to say.

I never stopped loving you,

Though life kept moving on.

I built a life,

I found my way,

But what we had was never gone.

I never stopped loving you,

Through every changing year.

Some loves don't end with goodbye,

They simply stay right here.

Our meetings faded, year by year,

Still one look brought the feeling near.

You took my hand,

the world stood still,

I hear your voice,

I always will.

(I never forgot you)

(I never stopped loving you)

For one brief moment,

time was kind,

And all we'd lost was left behind.

I never stopped loving you,

Though life kept moving on.

I built a life,

I found my way,

But what we had was never gone.

I never stopped loving you,

Through every changing year.

Some loves don't end with goodbye,

They simply stay right here.

Then came your call,

so far away,

You said your time was running out.

No cure, no future we could claim,

No chance to turn the ending round.

I lost you once when I let go.

And then again...

When you had to die.

Only after you were gone,

I learned you hoped we'd meet again.

I carried that same hope for years,

Still held it close through joy and tears.

I never stopped loving you,

And now there's no more someday.

But I will keep the love we knew,

Through all the years that come my way.

I never stopped loving you,

And I know you felt it too.

If I could hold your hand once more,

I'd say what you already knew.

(I never forgot you either)

(And I never stopped loving you)
