Colin Hay - I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You

­­
I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say

I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky
'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter's still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years

But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner
'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

If I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

[Diana Power]

this is one of those songs where you just lay down on your bed with you eyes closed, just letting yourself be engulfed by the music. theres a melancholy feel to it all, but youre at complete peace and just truly understand how beautiful it is to get to experience life.

I think the laughter ringing in my ears hurts most. I'd give up my voice to hear him giggle for just a fraction of a second....losing a child is something no amount of strong whisky can numb for even a moment. Mommy loves you so much my precious little prince, and I will see you when it's time for me to come rest with you.

I know that this song is meant about lost love of a boyfriend or husband or friend, but ever since my 6 year old cousin passed away, when i hear this song now, i only ever think of him. I miss him more and more every day.

[mariah conklin]

Wow. I really feel for ya. I went through the same thing but me and him never ended up married. Maybe it all happened for a reason ya know? Take the time to figure out who you are.

[Ryan Huskey]

Married young to my high school sweetheart. Survived 2 crazy deployments with her. I pushed her away and she found someone else. And I tried everything to try and fix our marriage. But it was too late. We tried for 2 years to fix it. But next week we will be officially divorced. I just wish I could go back in time and fix all this. 12 years just like that all gone. I still love her more than anything in this world. I don't think I'll ever get over her. All the memories.

[robTorturewright]

Says you who leaves comments to get attention, you dont need to use caps we can all hear you, oh and no one has used the word chickenshit since the 90's, you have a nice day.

[Jakob Glocke]

GET A LIFE you sadsack chickenshit LOSERS

[fallsapart83]

Very sad, yet beautiful, comment. You nailed it, though: "this a place of memories, to remember people lost, people taken away, and people who left." It's nice to see the sharing of feelings among strangers. Initially hearing this, I first thought of break ups, because that's all I've experienced. But then I read the top comment about a boyfriend who died, & it made me see the song in a different, and even sadder, light. This song could mean so many different things to so many different people.

Emotional song indeed..."lump in throat" Beautiful song just can't listen to it anymore...
