They say when you get a lover
You begin to lose a friend .
That the end of the beginning is the beginning of the end .
They say the moment that you're born is when you start to die .
And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye .
We know if summer's coming means that winter's 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.
That's the moment till our meeting when the 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 said I'll never leave you then I knew that you'd go.
The sound of all our laughter is now echoed in a sigh.
And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye.
