Jon Bon Jovi Never Say Die Lyrics

Never Say Die Lyrics

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 'em 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 

[Guitar solo]

Yeah, and we could run like lightning (we could run like lightning) 
Through the pouring rain (through the rain) 
And we'll be standing like a soldier 
Who comes marching home again (left, right, left, right) 

They ask what it is that I want written (they ask what it is that I want
written) 
On the gravestone where I'll lie (on the gravestone where I'll lie) 
Tell them it's just my bones that died there (tell them it's just my bones that
died there) 
So save the tears they'll cry (so save the tears they'll cry) 

My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night 
And it's these three words that come to me 
As I kiss this world good bye 

Never say die, never say no 
You got to look 'em 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, never say die... (that's right)
