We Said Hello GoodbyePhil Collins

Released: February 18, 1985

Songwriter: Phil Collins

Producer: Hugh Padgham Phil Collins

[Verse 1]
We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It's the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile
It's the only way
Only way

[Chorus]
Turn your head
And don't look back
Set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there oh

[Verse 2]
Well it really don't matter much where you are
Cos home is in your heart
It's a feeling that you wake with one day
Some people keep running all their life
And still find they haven't gone too far
They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling inside oh

[Chorus]

[Outro]
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile - it's the only way
