Conversation - Ricky 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
