A Number And A Name

How many times have I read farewell lines In the things that you never seemed to say? How many times have I read those last lines And wondered why it ended this way? Words of goodbye and all those loving lines I must have been blind And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name Both have changed with the pa*sing of time How you would write about the bright lights And your words always clouded up my eyes How you would write about the bright lights It's a wonder that I never realized Our race was run now and another's just begun I must have been blind And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name Both have changed with the pa*sing of time When your letters stopped the tears that I fought How they came in the flood of memories When your letters stopped the tears that I fought How they ran like the rivers to the seas Each sunny day, you slip further away I must have been blind And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name Both have changed with the pa*sing of time
