Never Say Goodbye

A tender love song from Planet Waves, recorded with The Band, set against an image of a wintry northern landscape.

The words

Amid a frozen winter scene, a man asks the woman he loves never to leave him.

The singer looks out on a cold, still winter landscape and turns to the woman he loves, wishing their time together would last. He dreams of the future and asks that there be no parting between them. The song is gentle and wistful, mixing quiet natural imagery with a simple plea. The Band's backing is soft and restrained, letting the mood of hushed affection come through.
