HELLO AND GOODBYE
From the film "From Noon Till Three" (1976)
(Music: Elmer Bernstein / Lyrics: Alan & Marilyn Bergman)

Jill Ireland (Film Soundtrack) - 1976




Some have a lifetime, some just a day
Love isn't something you measure that way
Nothing's ever forever, forever's a lie
All we have is between 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'

It's not how long the Spring
It's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time 
Between 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'

The music has ended, I still hear the song
Our moment was brief, but our kisses were long
Though the loving is over, the love of you stays
And the mem'ry will warm me  the rest of my days

It's not how long the Spring
It's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time 
Between 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'

We never shared September 
Or watched the colours of Fall
But in that wink of time we had
We knew we had it all

It's not how long the Spring
It's not how wide the sky
It's just how sweet the time 
Between 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'
