Lyrics
Say Hello to Goodbye (Bob Burger)
Say Hello to Goodbye, ?Cos this is where the bird learns to fly
And the day turns to night, And darkness turns to light
Can I understand your words, Fall down at your feet
Can I tread upon your Earth, And slip beneath your seas?
Say Hello to Goodbye, with just a fainting glimpse of your smile
Pull the sun down from the sky, And ever know that I?
I will answer to your name, listen through your ears
I will sing to your refrain, And cry among your tears
You know, you know, you know I need you
You know, you know, you know I long for you
You know, you know, you know I love you
You know, you know, the one thing I can?t do?
Is Say Hello To Goodbye? o-o-h
But I know I must try, I know I must try?
