They say there's never a time All the rest of your life When you know so many people By sight and by their name, People to say hello to. | |
When the campus was crazy With mayoralty costumes, When the air in front of Miner Was overflowed with voices Singing in a spring evening, I was a thousand people, And many times at dances I was the music, everyone, In it and looking at it. | |
It's hard to be in love With one, but not a thousand Times harder to love a thousand, And that's what it seemed like, Sometimes, those times They say never come again, When you know so many People to say hello to. | |
