Acquaintance

I say hello, then it's time to go

I never really got to know you.
Time goes fast and at the last
you and I part as strangers.

We say we'll write to be polite
but we know we never will.
And we lose, by the options we choose
passing by what could have been...

The sunlight wanes to the lonesome strains
of a melancholy melody
I'd be true if I only knew
you.

We say goodbye for soon we'll fly
away on separate winds.
We don't know where we will go
but we'll never be here again.
The sunlight wanes to the lonesome strains of
a melancholy melody
I'd be true if I only knew
you.
