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 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 (repeats out)
