40 years on, it sends a chill down my spine every damn time I hear it.
Lyrics-
I’ll remember you too clearly
But I’ll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there’s no one there
I’ll imagine what you’d say[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll see you in another life now, baby
I’ll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company[Chorus]
Company
I’ll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying
I’m still crying
Crying for company
I’m still crying for company[Verse 2]
So now you’re going off to live your life
You say we’ll meet each other now and then
But we’ll never, never be the same, never
And I know I’ll never have this chance again
Oh no no no, not like you, not like you
First loves never die.
