I form a picture of you in my mind

And smile so tight I am quite blind

When I think of you clowning in the night

Making me laugh until the sunlight

Good times they were--the old days

If I had a time machine I would go back

When life had more forgiving ways

When everything wasn't thrown off track

How I miss running amuck with you

How we left one place to go elsewhere

When opportunities were through

Now, no town or time can compare

To when we sampled them all

One is the same as another

Left in economic despair

Chaotic stages of disrepair

I'd like to leave them all in the dust

Subject to future crud and rust

To climb in a time machine to do

One last unforgettable day with you...
