Lyrics

It seems we stood and talked like this beforeWe looked at each other in the same way thenBut I can’t remember where or when
The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you woreThe smile you are smiling you were smiling thenBut I can’t remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first timeSeems to be happening againAnd so it seems we have met beforeAnd laughed beforeAnd loved beforeBut who knows where or when
