Heaven Is a Long Hello

Hello, hello
It's good to know
We can go home forever
Heaven is a long hello

"Goodbye", Jesus said
To His dearest friends
Who were shaking their heads
"Tomorrow I will be gone
But believe what I say
I'll be back before long"
Next day they carried Him to a tomb
Then spent some lonely days
Locked in their room
Oh, I wish I could have been
Together with them
To see the look on every face
When the Lord said

Hello, hello, I told you so
And now you'll know forever
That Heaven is a long hello
Hello, oh, it's do good to know
We can go home forever
Heaven is a long hello

(Heaven is a long hello)

Farewell, adios
And all the goodbye words
That hurt us the most
They will be obsolete
No more bon voyage, no arrivederci
There's no need for Auf Wiedersehen
When there's nowhere to go
To get back from again
And I'll look at you for an eon or two
Or three or four or more, and say

Say hello, hello
Oh, how I missed you so
But then we'll know forever
And have ourselves a long hello
Hello, oh, it's so good to know
We can go home forever and ever

Oh, the time will come
When time will pass
And we will have forever together
And when at last
I see your face
We'll spend an age embracing and saying
Hello

Heaven's long hello
(Long hello)
(Long hello)
(Long hello)
(Long hello)
Yeah, oh, Heaven's long hello
(Long hello)
Hello

(Long hello)
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to see you there
Heaven's long hello
(Long hello)
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
(Long hello)
(Long hello...)
