A thousand conversations on a never ending theme
Seem to linger in my mind like the fragments of a dream
That once was a part of you and remains a part of me
It's the unreal world we lived in that was born of fantasy

We whiled away the hours making promises that might
Have just changed the world we knew if they'd only turned outright
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 days and the way things used to be
