Hello and Goodbye Lyrics

The party was over and we were so proud,
And we said our goodnights to the rest of the crowd,
We walked to your home dear as stars left the sky,
When I kissed you the first time I kissed you goodbye;
Now the life of that party left us both high and dry,
All that I now remember is hello and goodbye.
Now it"s Sunday and I"m gazin" out my window,
And my sad heart keeps asking me why,
It was my luck to choose you
And hard luck to lose you,
I'm alone with my memories
Of hello and goodbye.
[Instrumental]

The noise and the laughter as we swayed to each song,
Took us both to a dream world that lasted not long,
I thought that I loved you and that you loved me too,
But when the party was over our romance was too,
But it's nice to remember even though it's gone by,
Our short time together, our hello and goodbye.
Now it"s Sunday and I"m gazin" out my window,
And my sad heart keeps asking me why,
It was my luck to choose you
And hard luck to lose you,
I'm alone with my memories
Of hello and goodbye.
Hello ..... hello and goodbye.
