A THOUSAND CONVERSATIONS
(Hank B. Marvin-Bruce Welch)

A thousand conversations
On a never ending theme
Seems to linger in my mind
Like the fragments of a dream

That was once a part of you
And remains a part of me
It’s the unreal world we lived in
That was born of fantasy

You whiled away the hours
Making promises that might
Have just changed the world we knew
If they’d only turn out right

But now I’m a little wiser
I can even raise a laugh
At the funny face you pulled
On the faded photograph

New days replace yesterdays in time
It’s well to bear in mind
That new ways erase nothing stays the same
And now you even changed your name

Forever I’ll remember
As I passed by on the train
Streets of paradise we loved
Now so few of them remain

Yes It’s finally goodbye
Seems because so suddenly
To the end of childhood days
And the way things used to be
