Lyrics Between Hello and Goodbye - Robert Earl Keen

Between Hello and Goodbye

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»
