TRANSCRIPT

-♪ Well, I'll be damned ♪ Here comes your ghost again ♪ But that's not unusual ♪ It's just that the moon is full ♪ ♪ And you happened to call ♪ And here I sit -♪ Hand on the telephone ♪ Hearing a voice I'd known ♪ A couple of light years ago ♪ Heading straight for a fall -♪ I remember your eyes ♪ Were bluer than robin's eggs ♪ My poetry was lousy, you said ♪ ♪ Where are you calling from?

♪ 'A booth in the midwest' -♪ And the 50 years ago -[ Laughs ] -♪ I bought you some cuff links ♪ They made cuff links back then.

♪ You brought me something -♪ And we both know what memories can bring ♪ ♪ They bring diamonds and rust
