J. Bon Jovi

As we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (that´s right)
We were as still as the wind

That blows on a hot August night

And you were lonesome
As a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane

And we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don´t ever

Never say die
Never say die

I guess you´d say we had a pact
These words we knew so well (that´s right)

Still they remained unspoken
And we´d take them to the fiery
Gates of hell

Once I was afraid of love
But when it´s your brother
Those things change
´Cause love is just another word
For trust
So hear me when I say

Never say die
Never say no
You got to look them in the eye
And don´t let go
When it´s your own blood you´ll bleed
And your own tears you´ll cry
When you´re brought up to believe

That it´s the strong who survive
Never say die

Solo

Yeah, and we could run like lightning
Through the pouring rain
And we´ll be standing like a soldier
Who comes marching home again

They ask what it is that I want written
On the gravestone where I´ll lie
Tell them it´s just my bones
That died there
So save the tears they´ll cry

My spirit is still riding somewhere
Somewhere in this night

When it´s these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world goodbye

Never say die
Never say no
You got to look them in the eye
And don´t let go
When it´s your own blood you´ll bleed
And your own tears you´ll cry
When you´re brought up to believe
That it´s the strong who survive
Never say die
