It starts with “hello” and ends with “goodbye”
Why we cannot be I do not know why
You say your dad just told you “no”
He said it was to give you time to grow

So now I must wait until the day arrives
And I do believe that true love can survive
We will be friends in the time between
But I have to wonder if I can put up a screen

A screen that blocks my pains and sorrows
That lets me believe that there will be tomorrow
One that lets me love you without being sad
And gives me the hope that we’ll have what we had
