Between Hello and Goodbye - Robert Earl Keen

It was you and me last Saturday

Alone out in the dark

It was something like no good for nothin'

You’re playin' with my heart

You got him and I’m alone

And so I sit and cry

In between our first «Hello»

And our last «Goodnight, goodbye»

And I wonder 'bout the words that we have wasted

I wonder 'bout the things you say that make me start to cry

And I wonder about the time that we’ve forsaken

In between our first «Hello» and our last «Goodnight, goodbye»

The headlights beamed across your face

The shadows fell on mine

The words fell down upon the road

Beside the borderline

I’m slippin' to the darkness

I’ll give it one more try

In between our first «Hello»

And our last «Goodnight, goodbye»

And I wonder 'bout the words that we have wasted

I wonder 'bout the things you say that make me start to cry

And I wonder about the time that we’ve forsaken

In between our first «Hello» and our last «Goodnight, goodbye»

Somewhere between our first «Hello,» «My dear, goodnight goodbye»
