There's a long goodbye
And it happens everyday
When some passerby
Invites your eye
To come her way
Even as she smiles
A quick hello
You've let her go
You've let the moment fly
Too late you'd turn your head
You'd know you've said
The long goodbye
Can you recognise the pain
On some other street
Two ppl meet
As in a dream
Running for a plane
Through the rain
If the heart is quicker than the eye
They could be lovers
Until they die
It's too late to try
When a missed hello
Becomes the long goodbye
