Nelson, Ricky - Conversation Lyrics






Conversation, gettin' so hard to make
I try to communicate, but i can't get through
We are strangers, but I remember when
You used to be my friend and my lover too

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
I just wonder how we ever got this way

Conversation, that's what it's all about
Why can't we talk it out, say what's on our minds
Situations keep gettin' in the way
So much we need to say, but we're running out of time

And I don't really know how it happened
I have tried but I don't understand
How we ever let it get so out of hand

Just like a dream you can't remember
Even though you always wish you could
When it's gone, it's gone forever
When it's gone, it's gone for good

Conversation, things that we've done and said
Keep running through my head like a sad echo
Desperation is gettin' the best of me
Can't seem to make you see that I can't let go

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
But I can't bring myself to throw it all away

    The pressure had to be so intense to be Rick Nelson the teenage idol of the era and
    to try to have a normal life with his wife and kids. You just wish he and his little family could have just rode off into the sunset and lived a happy live. Really too bad.
    Way to big a price to pay. I doubt that he would say it was worth it. This is a powerful song with surprising transparency on his part.

    This is awesome. The song is fantastic. Is there anyway I can get a copy of the photos that are in the video? I've been a "die-hard" fan of the Nelsons for years. I do hope you can help.

  14. j.... ....

    So glad you enjoyed the video :)

    Ricky was my all time artist . But this song brought tears to my eyes. because if you look at it this way if we have something special to say to our loved ones we need to do it . the video on this was wonderful . I loved this it now is my all time favorite video . what a talent we lost .

    Ricky is 3rd all time favorite singer of all time, after Johnny Cash and Elvis.

  20. L.... R....

    Great song and well done video. I also have the Last Time Around box set, pretty cool.

  21. d.... ....

    Written with Kris in mind. Classic Rick Nelson! Thanks for posting.

  22. m.... ....

    I never heard this song before, so when I first saw it I thought it was an actual conversation Rick had of some kind that might of got recoreded lol! Wonderful clips as always, especially the home videos and the wedding one! I don't know if you knew, but that pic at 1:05 is from his last performance of his last night here on earth in Alabama.

  23. r.... ....

    One of the best songs on the Kooper produced album. A very different sound for Rick, but this song seems like it must have resonated with him quite deeply. I can imagine him singing this to Kris.
