and free.

well.

I’ve for got ten how it felt of be fore the world fell at our feet.

There’s such a dif f’rence

be tween of us, and a mil li on of miles.

Hel lo from the oth er side.

I must have called a thou sand times

to tell you I’m sor ry for every thing that I’ve done, but when I call, you

nev er seem to be home.

Hel lo from the out side.

At least I can say that I’ve tried

to tell you I’m sor ry for break in’ your heart.

But it don’t mat ter: it clear ly doesn’t tear you a part an y more.

Hel lo,

Did you ev er make it out of that town where noth ing ev er hap pened?

It’s no se cret

that both of us and are run ning out of time.

Hel lo from the oth er side.

I must have called a thou sand times

to tell you I’m sor ry for every thing that I’ve done, but when I call, you

nev er seem to be home.

Hel lo from the out side.

At least I can say that I’ve tried

to tell you I’m sor ry for break in’ your heart.

But it don’t mat ter: it clear ly doesn’t tear you a part an y more.

Hel tear you a part an y more

tear you a part an y more.

Hello by Jennifer Linn — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Hello by Jennifer Linn in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 80 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
