Hello -- Lionel Richie

I've been alone with you Inside my mind And in my dreams I've kissed your lips A thousand times I sometimes see you
Pass outside my door Hello Is it me you're looking for I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your smile You're all I've ever wanted And my arms are open wide 'cause you know just what to say And you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair And tell you time and time again How much I care Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello I've just got to let you know 'cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely  Or is someone loving you Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying I love you

Hello Is it me you're looking for 'cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying I love you

When he was young, Richie watched beautiful women walk past but was too shy to talk to them. He thought to himself, "Hello, is it me you're looking for." Years later he started to write a song using the phrase but got stuck and gave up, but his record producer liked the line and urged him to finish it.     (songfacts)
