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
