The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - A Number And A Name lyrics

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**ing of time How you would write about the bright lights ? It's a wonder that I never realized How you would write about the bright lights And your words always clouded up my eyes ? Our race was run now another's just begun I must have been blind It seems to me a shame that the number and the name Both have changed with the pa**ing of time When your letters stopped the tears that I fought How they ran like the rivers to the seas When your letters stopped the tears that I fought How they came in the flood of memories Each sunny day you slip further away I must have been blind It seems to me a shame That the number and the name Both have changed with the pa**ing of time
