Never Say Goodbye Lyrics

Cover art for Never Say Goodbye lyrics by Hayley Westenra

I was reading a book several months ago (true story), diaries written by a girl who lived a couple of hundred years ago. Her closest friend took his own life. I happened listen to the Pure album at the time I was reading this and the words reminded me of what I was reading.

“If I could take this moment forever Turn the pages of my mind To another place and time We would never say goodbye.”

She would turn through the pages of her old diaries to look for recollections of happy moments that would never return, as if she was trying to freeze the past in her mind. This sad, beautiful song seemed to echo her emotions that I was reading. In a sense their story has stayed alive through her writing, like the line in the song.
