Hello again
Seem like forever between now and then
You look the same
I mean you look different but you haven't changed
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you laughin' and I was afraid that I'd get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
So how have you been?
Do you remember, lose everything
Funny I think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
Saw you there dancin' but I was afraid I might get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Funny the feeling (we're falling for this)
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you there dancin', well I was afraid I might get in the way
Never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
(Been) watchin' the years as they trickle away
It's everything, how time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Steal me away
It's like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What should I say?
See you here standin', and I am afraid I might get in the way
I never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
Do you remember I mean everything?
You steal me away
Like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What can I say?
That's you here standin', well I am afraid I might get in your way.


NOTES: For me the painting is like the song...detailed and more subtle than some. Lyrically, it isn't as "specific" as some other songs so my intent is to evocate the feeling of the song with the elements of the painting.
