Lyrics

VERSE
My heart’s been broken a thousand times
And there’s millions of tears that you made me cry
Now that I know your love will never be mine
It’s time to say hello to goodbye

CHORUS
Say hello, hello to goodbye
The next tears that fall from my eyes
Will be the last tears for you I will cry
Say hello, hello to goodbye

VERSE
To watch you take my love and throw it away
To be made a fool of night after day
To wonder whose pillow you’re sharing tonight
No more; say hello to goodbye

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/VERSE
I wish that I could return to the day
When you said together we’d be ’til we die
But I cannot go on living this way
So, girl, say hello to goodbye

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
From hello to good times
And from good times to bad
Goodbye is so very sad

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Say hello, hello to goodbye
