Between Hello And Goodbye

I love the way you look at me
when you want me to hold you
and I love the way it feels
when you place your arms around me
because of you I have known both
happiness and heartbreak

you always have to leave
you always have to leave
and I can't promise you
something you want me to

beaches and parks, the shade of a tree
hot days and hot nights
I've held your hand and I've watched you sleep
when your arms are half-cried
there never is much time between
hello and goodbye

you always have to leave
you always have to leave
and I can't promise you
something you want me to

something that I do not believe
that I don't believe

you always have to leave
you always have to leave
and I can't promise you
something you want me to
