Changes: Never Gonna Leave You (song)

Revision as of 14:10, 1 September 2014

Template:Infobox Song "Never Gonna Leave You" is a song written by Adele and Fraser T. Smith for Adele's sophomore album, 21. The song was produced by Smith. On September 1, 2014, the song leaked in full onto the Internet, along with "You'll Never See Me Again" and the demo for "Set Fire to the Rain". ^[1] It can be assumed it was one of the earliest songs written for the album, as it included lyrics from several other songs included on the final version of 21. Many fans have stated that it is possible the song will be included on Adele's third studio album because it has a happier theme, similar to how Adele said the new album would sound.

The song was included on a promo CD that featured the three songs Smith completed with Adele for 21, although the CD (given the title Fraser T. Smith Sessions) is supposedly owned by XL Recordings. The CD included "You'll Never See Me Again", the demo of "Set Fire to the Rain", and "Never Gonna Leave You". ^[2]

"Never Gonna Leave You" only appears on Fraser T. Smith's BMI because Adele is incorrectly credited as "Adele Watkins" on it. ^[3]

Lyrics

Many of the lyrics of "Never Gonna Leave You" were reworked into other songs from 21. The lyrics "how will you ever know if you never try" and "you're the only one I want" were later modified and used for "One and Only". The lyrics "I've seen your face under every sky" were included in "I'll Be Waiting", and the entire bridge of "Never Gonna Leave You" was later used for "He Won't Go".

I know sometimes you're scared of the light
But how will you ever know if you never try
There's something new inside my heart
And it grabs like a child whenever we're apart
I see your face under every sky
I find the less I look, more I find

So let's go back there, back to the start
You know I'm never gonna leave you
You're the only one I want
Let's go back there, back to the star
You know I'm never gonna leave you
You're the only one I want

You know sometimes that I'm scared of the dark
But I'm feeling sun babe when I'm in your arms
You said my name in the dead of glory
You hold me alright
When I'm short of falling

So let's go back there, back to the start
You know I'm never gonna leave you
You're the only one I want
Let's go back there, back to the star
You know I'm never gonna leave you
You're the only one I want

There will be times
When we'll try to give it up
Bursting out, it seems
No doubt that will almost fall apart
Than burn to pieces
And we'll watch them turn to dust
But without each other, nothing is easy enough

So let's go back there, back to the start
You know I'm never gonna leave you
You're the only one I want
Let's go back there, back to the star
You know I'm never gonna leave you
You're the only one I want

You're the only one
Never gonna leave you
No, I'm never gonna leave you, no
