Hello and Goodbye ©

Hello, my friend,
an ear to lend
is all I ask of you

Can we talk
as we walk
for just a minute or two?

I am a stranger
but I'm no danger
I'm just a lonesome soul

To have a friend
that's not pretend
is my only goal.

Can we speak
another week
I'm really quite a guy.

If the answer's no
well then I'll go
I guess this is goodbye.
