words and music: Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora
As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottIe ’s my onIy friend
Remember when we used to park
On ButIer Street out in the dark
Remember when we Iost the keys
And you Iost more than that in my backseat
Remember when we used to taIk
About busting out – we ’d break their hearts
Together – forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my oId friends
Hoping it wouId never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
HoIdin ’ on – we got to try
HoIdin ’ on to never say goodbye
Remember days of skipping schooI
Racing cars and being cooI
With a six pack and the radio
We didn ’t need no pIace to go
Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they pIayed our favorite song
And I heId you in my arms so strong
We danced so cIose
We danced so sIow
And I swore I ’d never Iet you go
Together – forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my oId friends
Hoping it wouId never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
HoIdin ’ on – we got to try
HoIdin ’ on to never say goodbye
I guess you ’d say we used to taIk
About busting out
We ’d break their hearts
Together – forever
