You said goodbye
And you know my love for you is true
You made me cry
And I’ve never done a wrong to you
But by and by, you’re gonna cry
‘Cause you never miss a good thing ‘til it’s gone
Now, you hurt my heart
‘Cause you said our love would all—would always be
You made us part
‘Cause you love someone instead—instead of me
But by and by, you’re gonna cry
‘Cause you never miss a good thing ‘til it’s gone
You might miss your water when the well runs day
You might miss the sunshine when there’s a cloudy sky
You might miss your dreams that never could be
But you ain’t missed nothing
No, not like you’re gonna miss me
You hurt my heart
‘Cause you said our love would all—would always be
You made us part
‘Cause you love someone instead—instead of me
But by and by, you’re gonna cry
‘Cause you never miss a good thing ‘til it’s gone
No, no, you never, mmm, you’ll never miss it baby, no
You’ll never, ooh, you’ll never miss it, baby, no
You’ll never, I knew, I know you’ll never, no no
You’ll never…
And you know my love for you is true
You made me cry
And I’ve never done a wrong to you
But by and by, you’re gonna cry
‘Cause you never miss a good thing ‘til it’s gone
Now, you hurt my heart
‘Cause you said our love would all—would always be
You made us part
‘Cause you love someone instead—instead of me
But by and by, you’re gonna cry
‘Cause you never miss a good thing ‘til it’s gone
You might miss your water when the well runs day
You might miss the sunshine when there’s a cloudy sky
You might miss your dreams that never could be
But you ain’t missed nothing
No, not like you’re gonna miss me
You hurt my heart
‘Cause you said our love would all—would always be
You made us part
‘Cause you love someone instead—instead of me
But by and by, you’re gonna cry
‘Cause you never miss a good thing ‘til it’s gone
No, no, you never, mmm, you’ll never miss it baby, no
You’ll never, ooh, you’ll never miss it, baby, no
You’ll never, I knew, I know you’ll never, no no
You’ll never…
