ONE HELLO
sung by: Randy Crawford

If you’re not afraid of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
Of beautiful things
It’s a chance you take
A chance you’re in
If someone’s gonna find you
First you’ve got to let them in ‘cause…

Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it’s easy letting go
One hello
It’s how it starts
You might win in love
While lose your heart

If you’re not afraid of what you feel
Then try and keep it simple
But try and keep it real
And if bein’ real
Means you’ll someday say goodbye

Remember my friends
What was nothing
It’s a circle you know
And it starts with one hello

Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it’s easy letting go
One hello
It’s how it starts

Remember my friends
What was nothing
It’s a circle you know
And it starts
It starts with one hello

It starts with one hello
Mmmn…
