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

I know you'll try hard to explain but won't you please fail me the pain
I knew her hello was my goodbye
