Hello and Goodbye

Hello and goodbye
Oh the time, it can fly
It’s farewell for a spell
When I was just sayin’ “hi”

Man, that went fast
Now the future’s the past
I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye

Hey, oh, where did you go?
You were just here
Now I’m alone
My life is spinning like a turnstile
Here’s why

Friends, they come on in
Woosh, they’re gone again
I was getting to know ya
Just when I was getting to know ya

(I wonder could you stay for awhile?)
I know that nothing’s permanent
Nothing’s written in cement
I get it

(And if you stick around you might find)
A place to hang your hat
Would it really be that bad?
My heart skips a beat
Every time you up and leave

Hello and goodbye
Well the time, it can fly
It’s farewell for a spell
When I was just sayin’ “hi”

Man, that went fast
Now the future’s the past
I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye

Hello, hello, hello
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Now hold up, wait a minute
Let me sink my teeth in it
This just started
It’s not finished
One more time, from the beginning

STOP the forward motion
PAUSE all the commotion
‘CAUSE I wanna know ya
(ohweohweoh)

(Where did everyone have to go?)
I dunno, it’s such a drag
To be left holding the bag
What do I do with it?

(When will everyone finally stay?)
And like an actor in a play
You say your lines and leave the stage
But it’s hard
‘Cause my heart, ‘cause my heart

Because my heart shrinks a little bit
Every time you gotta split

Hello and goodbye
Well the time, it can fly
It’s farewell for a spell
When I was just sayin’ “hi”

Man, that went fast
Now the future’s the past
I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye

Hello, hello, hello
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I’m always sayin’ hello and goodbye
