The First Hello

Roger Whittaker
They say that when you gain a lover
you begin to lose a friend
that the end of the begining's
the begining of the end
they say the moment that your born
is when you start to die
and the first time that we said hello
began our last good bye
We know each summer's coming
means that winter's waiting there
and gold would not be precious
if we all had gold to spare
you only know how low is low
the first time that you fly
and the first time that we said hello
began our last good bye
If i could live forever
it is certain I could never
know another singe second so sublime
that moment of our meeting
when our hands first touched in greeting
how I wanted to hold back the hands of time
When they begin the overture
the start to end the show
when you said 'I'll never leave you'
then I new that you would go
the sound of all our laughter
is now echoed with a sigh
and the first time that we said hello
began our last good bye
