    Lyrics:
    The changing of sunlight to moonlight
    Reflections of my life
    Oh how they fill my eyes
    [Repeat: x 2]
    The greetings of people in trouble
    Reflections of my life
    Oh how they fill my eyes
    [Chorus]
    Oh my sorrows
    Sad tomorrows
    Take me back to my own home
    [Chorus: x 2]
    Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
    Feel I'm dying, dying
    Take me back
    to my own home
    The changing of sunlight to moonlight
    Reflections of my life
    Oh how they fill my eyes
    I'm changing, arranging,
    I'm changing,
    I'm changing everything
    Everything around me
    The changing of sunlight to moonlight
    Reflections of my life
    Oh how they fill my eyes
    The world is
    a bad place
    A bad place
    A terrible place to live
    Oh but I don't want to die ...
    [Chorus: x 2]

      I was only 10 but I loved music! My sisters were older by 12 and 9 years older than me, I was the baby! You know how many times i heard that in life. But I use to play their 45’s so I know them songs from the late 60’s 70’s and 80’s . I love all music

    Man this video is 12 yrs old. First time I’ve seen it. I was 16 the first time I heard this song on the radio and it brought me to tears. I’m 69 now and this song STILL moves me to tears. I didn’t even know Dean Ford had passed away until about 4 yrs ago. As a teen Marmalade was one of my fav bands. Dean Ford just had one of those voices that reached down deep inside you and touched you where you lived. RIP Dean and thanks for the many awesome memories.

    Many years ago my sons and I went with my father to Government House to receive his OAM. While we were sitting and waiting for my father’s name to be called, they announced the next recipient… William Richard Thorpe, for services to Australian Music. It was a posthumous award and was accepted by his wife. So very sad he was not there to receive it himself. The accolades came a little too late.
