Her Hello Was My Goodbye

Dottie West · Makin' Memories [RCA Victor] [1970]

(Quinn Garton)



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.



--- Instrumental ---



I know you'll try hard to explain

But won't you please feel my pain

I knew her hello was my goodbye...
