Carlisle Wheeling [first Recorded Version] Lyrics - Monkees

In a long and involved conversation with myself 

I saw a precious thing come into view 

When I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf 

I dusted off some memories of you 

Then I thought about the times 

When all the world was green 

How the pheonix of our love first flapped its silver wings 

All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened 

And how it all mellowed as it grew 

I remember the times that our laughter would explode 

And how you would turn to hide your smile 

Then the hours of silence while the perfumed candle glowed 

And both of us meandered on for miles 

I remember the time I said I really had to go 

I remember the tears that filled your eyes 

Then I touched your hand and told you that it really was a lie 

And though you never knew I did, I cried

It's amazing how time can so softly change your ways 

And make you look at things that can't be seen 

How the years that roll by can start you listening 

Not just to what they say, but what they mean 

So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied 

If the razor edge of youth filled love is gone 

But we're both a little older, our relationship has grown 

Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown 

So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied 

If the razor edge of youth filled love is gone 

But we're both a little older and our relationship has grown 

Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown
