Lyrics

It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can’t remember where or when

The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can’t remember where or when

Some things that happen for the first time
Seems to be happening again
And so it seems we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
