Somewhere Down The Line
by Willie Murphy
Somewhere down the line
Two friends who had forgotten meet face to face again
Suddenly remember the people we were then
Years and tears and loves gone by come back across my mind
Now we're somewhere down the line
Somewhere down the line
How did all that time go by? Where did it all go?
And what were all those questions that we asked so long ago?
And who's that stranger in my looking glass? I'd like to know
Still sometime I'd like to know
Down the line
Down the line
Somewhere in a dream
Lifetime's but a dream
A little boy is playing near a brightly colored stream
The sun it never sets; the moon is blue; the sky is green
So old and frail he's crying "Where is my ice cream?"
How real were all his dreams
Somewhere down the line
Try to hold the moments as the night goes slipping by
Try to hold the river in your hands, or hold the sky
Try holding back the tears as your dreams begin to die
It's all somewhere down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Somewhere down the line
Somewhere down the line
Somewhere in a dream
Lifetime's such a dream
Down the line
Down the line
Ooh ooh ooh ooh down the line
Somewhere down the line
We rowed our little boats just children laughing merrily
We said someday we'd all grow up and be what we would be
But the boat ride never ends; as shadows fall we're drifting to the sea
Still farther out to sea
