BILL AND BOB CONVERSATION

Bill: Where did you grow up, Bob?

Bob: I grew up in a small town in northern California. Close to San Francisco.

Bill: Oh wow. Was it nice?

Bob: Yes, it was very nice. In those days, there wasn’t much tourism. And life was
quiet. The forest was beautiful, and so was the beach.

Bill: And why did you leave?

Bob: I left for the first time to go to college. I went to college in LA – at UCLA,
actually.

Bill: Oh wow. Good school. What did you study?

Bob: I studied computer science.

Bill: Did you enjoy it?

Bob: Yeah, I did. But I never worked as a programmer. I actually ended up as a


salesman, selling computer systems to companies.

Bill: And what brought you to New York?

Bob: Well, in my last year at college, I met a girl. She was the most beautiful girl in
the world… Or at least that’s what I thought.

Bill: What was her name?

Bob: Her name was Laura. She studied art. She was a bit of a bohemian.

Bill: Sounds good!

Bob: It was, for a while. I moved to New York with her, and got a new job selling
computer systems here. We lived together in Brooklyn. We were happily in love for
a couple of years. After we broke up, I just stayed.

Bill: And here you are


Bob: Yeah, here I am. 10 years later. Still selling computers, too.

Bill: Do you still see her?

Bob: I used to see her, from time to time. Finally, I decided not to see her anymore
It usually just brought up painful memories. Then I met my new girlfriend, and now
I’m much happier.

Bill: Why did you break up?

Bob: Well, it’s a long story. What happened was.


Would you know my name Time can break your heart
If I saw you in heaven? Have you begging please
Would it be the same Begging please
If I saw you in heaven?
Beyond the door
I must be strong There's peace, I'm sure
And carry on And I know there'll be no more
'Cause I know, I don't belong Tears in heaven
Here in heaven
Would you know my name
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven?
If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same
Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven?

If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong


I'll find my way And carry on
Through night and day 'Cause I know, I don't belong
'Cause I know, I just can't stay Here in heaven
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down 'Cause I know, I don't belong
Time can bend your knees Here in heaven
