I heard this at the funeral of a dear friend on 9/02/2011 in Iver. The words are so beautiful, it moved everyone to tears and was so poignant and fitting. It was played at the end before the coffin was taken out for the burial and there was not a dry eye in the house. (sent in by an anonymous contributor)
Lyrics
Hello
again hello
Just called to say: hello.
I couldn’t sleep at all tonight
And I know it’s late
But I couldn’t wait.
Hello
my friend
hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev’ry night
When I’m here alone
And you’re there at home.
Hello.
Maybe it’s been crazy
And maybe I’m to blame
But I put my heart above my head.
We’ve been through it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you’re not there
I just need to hear.
Hello
my friend
hello
It’s good to need you so
It’s good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say:
Hello my friend
hello.
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev’ry night
And I know it’s late
But I couldn’t wait
Hello.
It’s good to need you so
It’s good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say:
Hello my friend
hello.
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev’ry night
And I know it’s late
But I couldn’t wait
Hello.
when you’re not there
I just need to hear.
Hello
my friend
hello
It’s good to need you so
It’s good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say:
Hello
my friend
hello.
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev’ry night
And I know it’s late
But I couldn’t wait
Hello.
