Max Surine (Tokyo Square) - Caravan of Life

Artist: Max Surine (Tokyo Square)
Album: Everlasting Love Songs
Song: Caravan of Life

Lyrics:

What can you say
When you see it all just slipped away
wasted opportunities
a chance when begging but you wouldn't play
all you had to do was ask
how quickly the time just passed
every day gets shorter see how the years fly by
dreams that never were fulfilled
tales those lips can never tell
you get no second chances
this ticket's good one way
you can't change the days gone by
doesn't matter how you try
watch the hands of time march on
and see the caravan of life go by

and so one day soon
perhaps you come to know the truth
when our race is almost run
and we have paid the keeper's price with youth
once again we are reminded
how quickly the time has passed
everyday gets shorter see how the years fly by
hopes we never realized
those thoughts you never even tried
you get no second chances
this ticket's good one way
you can't change the days gone by
doesn't matter how you try
watch the hands of time march on
and see the caravan of life go by


What can you say
when you see it all just slipped away
wasted opportunities
a chance when begging but you wouldn't play
all you had to do was ask
how quickly the time just passed
everything is shorter see how the years fly by
dreams that never were fulfilled
tales those lips can never tell
you get no second chances
this ticket's good one way
you cant change the days gone by
doesn't matter how you try
watch the hands of time march on
and see the caravan of life go by

watch the hands of time march on
and see the caravan of life go by

I think it's "tales those lips can never tell"

[heiNey]

@lahancodon thanks, that sounds better than what i had and makes more sense

[zzzthaoster]

This is english version is good, but he's english isn't good enough. bummer.

[heiNey]

thats what makes it so good!

[binhduong12]

Andy Lau's version is still the best

[BigDave331]

This singer must be a karaoke singer, still he's doing ok. But I always like Andy Lau

version best. Especially when they edited this song into the casino movie when his girlfriend

got kill by bad guys.

song is beautiful lyrics are great , hmm..... maybe the articulation and pronunciation muffled. Well, perhaps that's their style. ( Tokyo square is something my father's era). But one thing for sure , they are Singaporean's pride in the music industry of that era.

Thanks for this beautiful song... I really missed MAX'S songs...

[tigermd75]

@zzzthaoster so is your English! Your grammar and spelling suck! There should be no "is" in the first half of your statement, and "his" English, not "he's". Please look at yourself first before criticize someone else!

@retsyorz nope it's different, i had it on tape and listened to it but don't know the name of the song. the lyrics are different than love is only just a dream.

[retsyorz]

@hamcha7777

Love is only just a dream?

[hamcha7777]

does anyone know what the other american version is called? part of it goes " I am not to blame cause i know your not the same."

[msjenmsia]

I believe this English version by Max Surine is the original Caravan of Life. Tokyo Square is a 70s Singaporean group and therefore some may find the English a little off. I love this song. Andy Lau's Chinese version is great too, but it is the the melody of this song that is so touching , and it great was written by Tokyo square.
