You Never Miss A Real Good Thing (Till He Says Goodbye) ~ Crystal Gayle (1976) Written by Bob McDill Sittin? on the bed a-thinkin? thinkin? that my heart is sinkin?           Everyday the world goes by with you gone                  All I do is dream about you livin? ain?t a life without you               Honey can?t you find it in you to come back home          Chorus: You never miss a real good thing or know what it means            You never see the light of day till it goes away                  You never want a drink of water till the well runs dry            You never miss a real good thing till he says goodbye I guess you must?ve had your reasons maybe you were right in leavin?              I know you never found yourself in what we had            And honey you?ve a right to blame me maybe even time would change me              But can?t you see the good that?s in me and overlook the bad      Repeat Chorus
