If you had only said hello,
we would have had a fine romance.
If we'd only had a chance,
I know we would
We'd have a happy cozy life,
a kid, a house and a car.
But we never got that far,
how very sad we are,
never lovin' like we should.
If you had only said hello,
you'd know how I took my tea
and even my philosophies
on love and life.
We'd argue 'bout the little things,
like who had burnt the toast
and who loves who the most,
it wouldn't even come close
but we'd always call a tie.
Now you'll never know... my nose wrinkles when I'm laughing.
Now I'll never know... if your hands get wrinkled when you're old.
Now we'll never know... if we'd be happily ever after.
You never said hello... and now we're sleeping all alone.
If you had only said hello,
oh I dream about it all the time,
standing in the shopping line,
bittersweet sigh.
You'd ask me to take a walk.
We'd get lost in our own world,
just another boy and girl
caught up in love's mad whirl.
And we'd never say goodbye.
Now you'll never know... that I dance circles 'round Fred and Ginger.
Now I'll never know... you had cute freckles as a child.
Now we'll never know... if our love would have lasted a long dark winter.
You never said hello... and now you'll never see me smile.
Now you'll never know... that I was to be your sweetheart truly.
Now I'll never know... you sing show tunes when you're sad.
Now we'll never know... and it's one of life's lessons oh so cruelly.
You never said hello... and now we're missing what we never had.
