Faces and places
Names I can't recall
I never used to think
About those things at all
But night after night
And day after day
You know that I can feel my life
Go slipping away
Windows and sidewalks
A crowded avenue
A soft rain, a warm smile
Faces old and new
A long walk with two friends
Whose dreams are my dreams too
Flying kites along the river
And the sky is painted bright blue
But face and places
Names I can't recall
I never used to think
About those things at all
But night after night
And day after day
You know that I can feel my life
Go slipping away
A wind that sent leavеs sailing
From every branch of evеry tree
A corner in the city
Where green eyes smile at me
In a second story flat
Looking through a candle flame
I'm writing songs to someone laughing
Though I didn't know her name
But face and places
Names I can't recall
I never used to think
About those things at all
But night after night
And day after day
You know that I can feel my life
Go slipping
It's slipping
