Songs:I Never Told You So (3642)

Lyrics

I Never Told You
by Mike Campbell 1997

I never told you that I loved you,
I never said how much I cared,
For I've been hurt by love a time or two before,
I didn't know if the love I gave might not be shared.
And so I kept my love in silence.
Never knowing what to say,
And now you've got and married someone else instead,
And you've packed your things and moved so far away.

And now I know my arms will never hold you.
Now I know how lonely life can be.
If only I had told you that I'd love no one but you.
Then at least you'd know just what you mean to me.

I thought I saw you in the market,
Was only someone with your hair,
I smelled your perfume as I left the movie show,
But when I looked around, you were not there.
I touch your picture every morning,
On my way out to my car.
I sing you love songs nearly every single day,
And I always seem to wonder where you are.

I realize I'll never lie beside you,
A lifetime filled with emptiness it seems,
If only I had told you that I'd love no one but you,
Then perhaps you'd not be haunting all my dreams.
