Story Behind the Song
I Never Want to Say Goodbye is filled with nostalgia. The lyricist reminisces, “53rd Street was our second home/with kids under feet/Our girls grew up together in that place/Being in each other’s company was the best that could ever be/It was hard work, too/But I got to spend time with you.” As sometimes happens, they “need time apart to heal.” However, “We’ll try to keep in touch each day/to share funny things that our kids say.” Listen and remember how relationships grow, and then grow apart, in I Never Want to Say Goodbye.
