about

Little bit of Jethro Tull type feel except with a recorder instead of flute.

lyrics

Never So Nice
written by John Beccia

Wild is the rover
Who rolls in the clover with love
But he cannot hold oh so closely what he's thinking of
Memory's nice
But never so nice as the real thing
They make you think twice
They're never so nice as real thing

For years he'll be thinking
Sitting and sinking in dream
And he can remember so many things he's never seen
Memory's nice
But never so nice as the real thing
So take my advice
They're never so nice as the real thing

Wild is the rover
Who's traveled all over the land
Only to find that in time castles crumble to sand
Memory's nice
But never so nice as the real thing
They're frozen like ice
But never so nice as the real thing
They make you think twice
But never so nice as the real thing
Memory's nice
But never so nice as the real thing
