Crystal Gayle – You Never Miss a Real Good Thing Lyrics

Sittin on my bed a thinkin
Thinking that my heart is sinkin
Everyday the world goes by
With you gone

All I do is dream about you
Living aint a life with out you
Honey can you find it in you
To come back home

Never miss a real good thing
I know what it means
Never see the light of day
Til it goes away
Never want a drink of water
Til the well runs dry
Never miss a real good thing
Til he says good-bye

I guess you must of had your reasons
Maybe you were right in leavin
I know you never found yourself
In what we had

And honey you’ve a right to blame me
Maybe even time would change me
Can’t you see the good thats in me
And over look the bad

Never miss a real good thing
I know what it means
Never see the light of day
Til it goes away
Never want a drink of water
Til the well runs dry
Never miss a real good thing
Til he says good-bye

Never miss a real good thing
I know what it means
Never see the light of day
Til it goes away
Never want a drink of water
Til the well runs dry
Never miss a real good thing
Til he says good-bye
