"Never Say Goodbye" is the second single from Yoko Ono's 1982 album "It's Alright (I See Rainbows)". Like many of Ono's songs from this period, the lyrics deal with her emotional healing following the murder of her husband John Lennon. The upbeat New Wave song samples a recording of Lennon screaming Yoko's name, followed by her son Sean waking her up, as if it were a bad dream. The song garnered minor airplay upon release. "Loneliness" appeared on the B-side. The 1995 "New York Rock" version was also released as a single.
