Friends Never Say Goodbye Written by: Elton John & Tim Rice Recorded by: Elton John Background Vocals by: Backstreet Boys There isn't much I haven't shared With you along the road And through it all there'd always be Tomorrow's episode Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide Ask no questions, take no side Who's to say who's right or wrong Whose course is braver run? Still we are, have always been, will ever be, as one What is done has been done for the best Though the mist in my eyes might suggest Just a little confusion about what I'll lose But if I started over I know I would choose The same joy, the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say CHORUS (Say goodbye) Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide I would choose The same joy, the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say CHORUS
