He Never Knew

Words and music by Steve Goodman

You're telling him that you're going,
You're telling him Goodbye,
And you're saying that the time has come
And you're saying please don't cry.

And he hears the key is turning,
And you're standing at the door,
And you're telling him you're leaving,
And you're saying there is so much more...

Chorus
And he never knew the answers
      to the questions that you bring him.
And the cellophane dreams you held so dear are
      tearing away.
You're finding all you're paths are taking you
      in a different direction
And he never knew how much you'd change since yesterday.

It seems like only yesterday
You tried to fly away,
And you fell so hard upon the ground
That all your blue skies turned to grey.
And he kissed your wounds and told you
That even birds have to learn to fly.
And you got back up and smiled
Just to see the twinkle in his eye.

Chorus

I want to tell the future, I want to touch the sky.
And tomorrow when you wake up,
May the tears you shed be dry.
I want to sing about everything, I want to make you see
What a song my voice has found in you,
How your smile just makes me feel so free.

Now your days have turned to years alone
And his smile's a memory.
And you wonder where the time has gone.
Do you still long to be free?
Does the little one that you call your own
      remind you of his smile?
When you make his grey skies turn to blue,
      are you back in his arms for a little while?
