When this party is all over
There is but one thing I wonder
Will I remember these flashing lights?
The nights full of ecstasy
Oh unbridled jubilance!
Of precious youthful innocence
Will these still be real to me?
These nights are like photographs
Affixed in my mind
The snapshots unravel
As I remember the times
Like flashing lights they pass
And the rest fades away
No recollection of words
Just the smiles on each face
When this party’s all over
They’re all I’ll have left
Just the flashing of lights
Through my mind at my death
But the scenes are intense,
Memories bring me to life!
Such pure exhilaration
Freed from worry or strife
Not a care in the world
‘Cause the future was bright
Oh to return to those days!
I would gladly take flight
But time is so cruel
And the end is in sight
What was one hell of a party
Now’s just all flashing lights
