(bruce welch/hank marvin) A thousand conversations on a never ending theme Seem 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 turned out right But now i'm a little wise I can even raise a laugh At the funny face you pulled on a 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've even changed your name Forever i'll remember as i pa** by on the train Streets of paradise we loved Now so few of them remain Guess it's finally goodbye Seems we came so suddenly To the end of childhood dreams And the way things used to be La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la
