It All Fades Away

An unfinished conversation
 In a picture of the past,
 Like the one that I just found of you,
 Among many that I had.
 I remember I saw you laughing
 With my camera close at hand,
 We were minutes from a quarrel
 And forever from understanding.
 You were just a bit excited
 and a little more displeased,
 How you hated candid pictures
 When I took them just to tease.
 Then you told me I was crazy,
 I said I was born that way,
 And we must have said those same two lines
 Twenty times a day.
 Chorus:
 Now, I'd swear you don't remember why we parted,
 Just like I cannot remember why we loved.
 Ain't it funny how the past
 Takes the better memories last
 'Cause the pain fades away, it all fades away.
 An unfinished conversation
 That I'd somehow like to end,
 If I just knew where to find you
 Or where a letter could be sent.
 But I know I'd not be welcome,
 I know you'd nearly die;
 All conversations fade away
 When the love-light leaves the eye.
 Chorus:
