hello beautiful (2020 version)

i was eighteen when we first met

couldn't believe how you took my breath

in your sweatshirt

your converse

you didn't even know you were rockin' my world

sittin' in line

tryin' to get a coffee

stealin' looks

you turned around and caught me

i laughed

and you smiled

and we took a chance to stay for a while

oh-whoa-whoa-whoa

i never saw you comin'

oh-whoa-whoa-whoa

but i had to say somethin'

hello beautiful

i've never seen you before

do you live 'round here

what's your name beautiful?

the way you looked at me

girl it took my breath away

and i had to introduce myself

i just had to say

hello beautiful

beautiful

whoa-oo-whoa

hello beautiful

beautiful

whoa-oo-whoa

i got your name

and i got your number

we sat for hours

talkin' to each other

but one night

just wasn't enough

we were all in

fallin' in love

i tried to see you but your daddy wouldn't let me

he told you

you should just forget me

but what we had

was somethin' so real and he

he didn't know

the way we feel

oh-whoa-whoa-whoa

and so i met you in the dark

oh-whoa-whoa-whoa

underneath the stars

hello beautiful

it's good to see you again

i'm glad you found your way down to this riverbend

i know we don't have long

but i'll take what i can get

every moment spent with you is worth the consequence

hello beautiful

beautiful

whoa-oo-whoa

hello beautiful

beautiful

whoa-oo-whoa

and i remember when you called me

something in your voice had changed

you told me you were moving with your dad to another state

i'm still waiting by this riverbend

yeah i come here everyday

waiting for that moment when you find your way

back to me

and i'll say

hello beautiful

hello beautiful
