As I lay me down to sleep
I hear her speak to me
"Hello, Mari, how ya doin?"
I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin'
I know you're happy, 'cause I can see it
So tell the voice inside ya' head to believe it
I talked to God about you, he said he sent you an angel
And look at all that He gave you
You asked for one and you got two
You know I never left you
'Cause every road that leads to heaven's right inside you
So I can say
"Hello, my only one, just like the morning sun
You'll keep on rising till the sky knows your name
Hello, my only one, remember who you are
No, you're not perfect, but you're not your mistakes"
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, the good outweighs the bad, even on your worst day
Remember how I'd say
"Hey, hey, one day you'll be the man you always knew you could be?"
And if you knew how proud I was
You'd never shed a tear, have a fear, no, you wouldn't do that
And though I didn't pick the day to turn the page
I know it's not the end every time I see her face, I hear you say
"Hello, my only one, remember who you are
You got the world 'cause you got love in your hands
You're still my chosen one
So can you understand? Some day you'll understand"
Hear me out, hear me out
I won't go, I won't go
No goodbyes, no goodbyes
Just hello, just hello
And when you cry, I will cry
And when you smile, I will smile
And next time when I look in your eyes
We'll have wings and we'll fly
"Hello, my only one, just like the morning sun
You'll keep on rising till the sky knows your name
And you're still my chosen one, remember who you are
No, you're not perfect, but you're not your mistakes"
