Her Hello Was My Goodbye Lyrics - Dottie West

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 

[ ac.guitar ] 

I know you'll try hard to explain but won't you please fail me the pain 

I knew her hello was my goodbye
