Hello's Smile Goodbye's Tears

I smiled at hello
And cried at goodbye
Perhaps I got it wrong

My tears would have
Come much sooner
Had I known my heart
Would be broken

But I can not tell the future
Today holds secrets yet untold
To love is to risk

Amour you can be cruel
Life without it empty
I will love again

Tonight I will dream
Praying you will no longer
Visit me when I am sleeping
