I know there’ll be another time
There’s going to be another moment
There’ll never be another you
There’s going to be another story
There’s so much left for you to do love

There’ll never be another you
There’s going to be another spring
And it won’t always be winter
And it’ll always be spring
There’s going to be another kingdom
There’s so much left for you to know love

There’ll never be another you
Will be there when you need me
Darling you’ll Just have to say
But you know I’ll be there anyway
You’ve got to have faith in me darling
Gut to have faith in yourself
Faith in your wealth

I know there’ll be another spring
And it won’t always be winter
And it’ll always be spring
There’s going to be another story
There’s so much left for you to know love
There’ll never be another you
There’ll never be another you
There’ll never be another you love

About Lyrics and Never by Cat Stevens

The lyrics to Never are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by Cat Stevens in 1978. Elements of the lyrics to Never are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Cat Stevens and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Never back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Never by Cat Stevens in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Never" means the words set to the music of Never, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Cat Stevens. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Never and the lyrics to Never are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Cat Stevens who came here looking just for the lyrics to Never, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
