---

You say hello like so many times before,

I turn away and run from You.

My heart was broke by a love that was unreal,

And as You whisper I can hear You say.

Stay, stay with me, I hear You calling out,

But, I can't believe that love is real,

All of my life I've searched for love so true.

Tell me, can I take a chance on You?

[Chorus]

You say hello like so many times before.

(Say hello)

When no one else would hear my cry.

Hello, hello, my heart is crying out.

(Say hello)

Can I take a chance on love?

And say hello to You.

Now I am here with my heart a mile wide,

Could You love me like You did before.

For so long, I've needed love so true,

And all this time my heart was needing You.

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Forever now, You'll stay a friend of mine.

Forever, You'll stay by my side.
