[Verse 1]
I'd watch the world go by in the morning
Lose myself in the news
Looks like the cost of houses have fallen
But I don't notice
I'd write a long love song with no meaning
And hope nobody would hear
A life of filter coffee and dreaming, dreaming

[Pre-Chorus]
Never thought that anyone could change my view
But everything looks different when I'm looking around with you

[Chorus]
Glad you took the time to say hello, hello
Now I don't ever wanna let you go, oh no
All the bells are ringing out
And all the birds are singing out
Glad you took the time to say hello, oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
I'd lock myself away in the evening
Afraid to ever come out
Watch TV and get lost in my feelings, feelings

[Pre-Chorus]
Never thought that anyone could change my view
But everything looks different when I'm looking around with you

[Chorus]
Glad you took the time to say hello, hello
Now I don't ever wanna let you go, oh no
All the bells are ringing out
And all the birds are singing out
Glad you took the time to say hello, oh oh oh

[Bridge]
It's a lovely day, it's a lovely day
Never thought that anyone could change my view
But everything looks different when I'm looking with you

[Chorus]
Glad you took the time to say hello, oh hello
Now I don't ever wanna let you go, let you go
All the bells are ringing out
And all the birds are singing out
Glad you took the time to say hello, oh oh oh
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
All the bells are ringing out
And all the birds are singing out
Glad you took the time to say hello, oh oh oh
Hello

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
