A thousand conversations on a neverending 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 borne of fantasy



You wiled 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 pass 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
