If it seems a little time is needed Decisions to be made The good advice of friends unheeded The best of plans mislaid Just looking for a new direction In an old familiar way The forming of a new connection To study or to play And so the conversation turned Until the sun went down And many fantasies were learned On that day Keep feeling fascination Passion burning Love so strong Keep feeling fascination Looking, learning Moving on Well the truth may need some Re-arranging Stories to be told And, plain to see, the facts are changing No meaning left to hold And, so, the conversation turned Until the sun went down And many fantasies were learned On that day And, so, the conversation turned Until the sun went down And many fantasies were learned On that day Keep feeling fascination Passion burning Love so strong Keep feeling fascination Looking, learning Moving on Keep feeling fascination Passion burning Love so strong Keep feeling fascination Looking, learning Moving on Keep feeling fascination Passion burning Love so strong Keep feeling fascination Looking, learning Moving on
