“Never Can Say Goodbye” by Gloria Gaynor
“Never Can Say Goodbye” by Gloria Gaynor
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, I
I never can say goodbye
Every time I think I’ve had enough
And start heading for the door
There’s a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says, “Turn around, you fool
You know you love him more and more”
Tell me why is it so?
Don’t wanna let you go!
Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey
I never can say goodbye
Oh, no, I
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there’s that same unhappy feeling
And there’s that anguish, there’s that doubt
It’s that same old dizzy hang-up
I can’t do with you or without
Tell me why is it so?
I don’t wanna let you go!
Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, oo
Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no
Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, no, no, no, baby
Hey, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no
Please don’t make me say good-bye
Hey, I never can say goodbye
Goodbyes are bitter sweet. Sweet because there is hope that in the future, you will see that person again. Bitter because there is a possibility that you will never see that person again; that this might just be your last encounter.
More and more, we are challenged with this notion. That with goodbyes this might just be our last. So the more we should savor each and every moment that we are with our loved ones; may it be mundane day to day activities or even special occasions. Because once that person passes away, at least we all know that we did our best in building good memories with that person. Life is unpredictable and in the blink of an eye that special person that you hold near and dear your heart might just suddenly die.
If someone dies, then for us, this might just be our last and final goodbye for this person. But deep inside of our hearts, we know that we treasure that person. That is why goodbye is never and option for us. Spiritually and emotionally, that person is still with us. “Never Can Say Goodbye” is just the right funeral song if you feel that you hold close someone who has just passed away. If you need assistance on how to write a eulogy then this may also be the perfect song to choose.
This song talks about how a person cannot let go of someone who is about to leave. And even if the relationship between the two has been rough, the person in the song still cannot find the strength to say goodbye. And leaving someone near and dear to you is difficult even when there is friction between you both.
As with real life, there are times that our dealing with our loved ones become rough, but it is not a reason to leave them. We should be there more often. Since that person may be going through something. With this, we will have no regrets giving our best for that person. And when that person passes away, we know we did well. Regrets, this creates big sorrow when you left by someone you love.
