She only smiled and said hello but your eyes were stars aglow

And I knew her hello was my goodbye

She held your hand a bit too long as I stood there lookin' on

And I watched you I watched you fall in love

Was it the time was it the place or was it her pretty face

That held you like a moth around the flame

Though it's hard to realize still I know my eyes don't lie

The fact remains you love her just the same

In a twinkle of an eye my dreamworld fell from your sky

I knew her hello was my goodbye

[ ac.guitar ]

I know you'll try hard to explain but won't you please fail me the pain

I knew her hello was my goodbye
