A Number and a Name

I must have been blind

Each sunny day, you slip further away
It's a wonder that I never realized
I must have been blind
I must have been blind

How they ran like the rivers to the seas
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
Both have changed with the passing of time
Both have changed with the passing of time
And wondered why it ended this way?
Our race was run now and another's just begun
How you would write about the bright lights
How they came in the flood of memories

And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name

How you would write about the bright lights
Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name
And it seems to me a shame that the number and the name
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How many times have I read those last lines
