HELLO & GOODBYE
© 2013 Amanda West Music

Your head is at last on the pillow
Your breathing, even and sweet
I run my fingers over your soft, round cheeks

This little person beside me
will last such a short, short time
Every day we must say “Hello and Goodbye”

It’s in these childhood rhythms
the truth of life comes so clear –
All is temporary, just be Here

When you’re raging in toddler fashion
and pushing against all that I do
each moment feels like forever and I lose

But this little person beside me
will last such a short, short time
Every day we must say “Hello and Goodbye”

And someday somebody else
will be kissing you goodnight
Running fingers over your cheeks now, strong and wise

And this little person beside me
will last such a short, short time
Every day we must say
Every day we must say
Hello and Goodbye
Hello and Goodbye
Hello and Goodbye
Hello and Goodbye
