(Cardew Robinson / Roger Whittaker) Roger Whittaker They say when you gain a lover You begin to loss a friend That the end of the beginning is The beginning of the end They say the moment that you are born Is when you start to die And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye We know each summer is coming Means the winter is 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 goodbye If I could live forever It is certain I would never know Another single second so sublime At the 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 They start to end the show When you think I willl never leave you Then I knew that you would go The sound of all our laughter Is now echoed in the sky And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye If I could live forever It is certain I would never know Another single second so sublime At the moment of our meeting When our hands first touched in greeting How I wanted to hold back the hands of time, oh yes When they begin the overture They start to end the show When you think I could never leave you Then I knew that you would go The sound of all our laughter Is now echoed in the sky And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye
THE FIRST HELLO, THE LAST GOODBYE
