I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi
I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi

Oh, Eli, you're a thief, you stole my heart
As I dream, I see your wings glow in the dark
A message that rings loud and true
Indelible coming from you

Oh, you make the connection
And I'll follow your suggestion when you say

I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi
I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi

Oh, Eli, your wisdom belies your age
Oh, here's to you, a guru of strength and grace

'Cause the first one to reach out a hand
Shows more courage than the one who does last

With all our imperfections
Your light shines in all directions
Cutting through

I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi
I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi
Oh, I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi
Oh, I'll come and say hi when I see Eli, I'll come and say hi
Oh, Eli, I'll come and say hi
