Conversation Lyrics - Rick Nelson

Conversation, gettin' so hard to make 

I try to communicate, but i can't get through 

We are strangers, but I remember when 

You used to be my friend and my lover too. 

And I don't really know how it happened 

And I don't really know what to say 

I just wonder how we ever got this way. 

Conversation, that's what it's all about 

Why can't we talk it out, say what's on our minds 

Situations keep gettin' in the way 

So much we need to say, but we're running out of time. 

And I don't really know how it happened 

I have tried but I don't understand 

How we ever let it get so out of hand. 

Just like a dream you can't remember 

Even though you always wish you could 

When it's gone, it's gone forever 

When it's gone, it's gone for good. 

Conversation, things that we've done and said 

Keep running through my head like a sad echo 

Desperation is gettin' the best of me 

Can't seem to make you see that I can't let go. 

And I don't really know how it happened 

And I don't really know what to say 

But I can't bring myself to throw it all away...
