We never say goodbye

I never make you cry

Arm in arm and eye to eye

We watch the years go by

You say goodnight and go upstairs

As I drift off in my easy chair

I know exactly how it ought to be

You and I keeping company

Down on easy street

Never a doubt, never a care

Down on easy stret

Our sins are all forgiven here

We thank God just for being there

For laying nature's bounty bare

When we pushed back the wild frontier

Though we are saved by grace along

Still we regret that episode

When spanish gold and indian bones

Were buried under these cobblestones

(chorus)

You never told that lie

That I could never let slip by

You never tried so hard to hide

What I never saw with my own eyes

We never watched our first blush fade

From summer glow to winter shade

We never look for greener days

And I never wonder if I should've stayed

(chorus)
