lyrics

NOT GONE AWAY - Overdue Refrain

Hey now, here’s for all the good times
The Lord knows we had quite a few
Hey now, you might feel the same as me
But try not to every feel so blue

Because I haven’t really gone away
I haven’t really gone away

Hang on to the images and memories
Hang on to those feeling of so strong
Hey, can’t you hear these words I say to you
Take a part of me in my song

A long, long way from home
You were all the best
Vous resterez toujours dans mon couer
Touch and go
Our lives were so intertwined
Cet chanson
C’est mon retour

But I haven’t really gone away
I haven’t really gone away

Throughout the years
I chased the fears
The best way to move on was to
Slowly let it go
But you were always here

No you haven’t really gone away
You haven’t really gone away

Hang on to the images and memories
Hang on to those feeling of so strong
Hey, can’t you hear these words I say to you
Take a part of me in my song

Take a part of me in my song
Take a part of me in my song
Take a part of me in my song
