“Hello” is the 8th track on Lionel’s album Can’t Slow Down. Lionel has stated in a GQ interview that he was randomly playing on the piano when producer James Carmichael overheard him playing a tune and suggested he finished the song. Lionel accepted his idea and the rest was history.
[Verse 1]
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams, I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
[Chorus 1]
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you
[Verse 2]
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes, I feel my heart will overflow
[Chorus 2]
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you
[Chorus 3]
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you
