And in the perfect conversation you're standin' at the station You're beggin' me, "Please don't go" You say, "The only thing that matters in this world Is that we need each other so" In the perfect conversation without any hesitation I tell you I was wrong An' I say, "Girl, you know sometimes my faith is weak And my pride is much too strong" In this perfect conversation, here in my imagination Somehow I know just when to say what's right And I know just what I'm losin' Before this train I'm on, starts movin' And I'm runnin' through the door to hold you tight Oh, the perfect conversation always ends Before we say goodbye And all that I can hear now, so loud and so clear now Are the words I could not seem to find And everything I didn't say keeps comin' back One mile at a time In this perfect conversation, here in my imagination Somehow I know just when to say what's right And I know I'll never leave you 'Cause I know how much I need you And I tell you that I love you just in time Oh, the perfect conversation always ends Before we say goodbye Oh, the perfect conversation always ends Before we say goodbye
