Conway Twitty - Thing Of The Past lyrics

One way ticket, window seat Heartache at 30,000 feet The future fades into memories. I'll get by somehow. Three point landing at L.A.X. Pockets filled with traveller's cheques Pa**enger filled with regrets It's all too clear to me now. We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive-in movies and cars that run on regular gas. War love letters and high school sweaters Beetle boots and bell bottom pants. Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees And all the things that weren't meant to last. It's sad to find that you and I are nothing But a thing of the past. No one's waitin' to meet my plane Two thousand miles and I feel the same. Only the hotel clerk knows my name And that's just fine with me. Out the window the crowded streets are lined with people with someone to meet. While I sit here keepin' company With what used to be. We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies And cars that run on regular gas. War love letters and high school sweaters. Beetle boots and bell bottom pants. Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees And all the things that weren't meant to last. It's sad to find that you and I are nothin' But a thing of the past. It's sad to find that you and I are nothin' But a thing of the past...
