The First Hello, The Last Goodbye

They say, "When you gain a lover
 You begin to lose a friend"
 That the end of the beginning's
 The beginning of the end
 They say the moment that you're born
 Is when you start to die
 And the first time that we said hello
 Began our last goodbye
 ♪
 We know each summer's coming
 Means that winter's waiting there
 And gold would not be precious
 If we all had gold to spare
 You only know how low is low
 The first time that you fly
 And the first time that we said hello
 Began our last goodbye
 ♪
 If I could live forever
 It is certain I could never
 Know another single second so sublime
 That moment of our meeting
 When our hands first touched in greeting
 How I wanted to hold back the hands of time
 When they begin the overture
 They start to end the show
 When you said, "I'll never leave you"
 Then I knew that you would go
 The sound of all our laughter
 Is now echoed in a sigh
 And the first time that we said hello
 Began our last goodbye
