Lyrics

It seems we stood and talked like this

be fore.

We (Bb)looked at each oth er in the same way then, (Gm)but I can’t re mem ber where

or (F)when.

The clothes you’re wear ing are the clothes

you wore.

The (Bb)smile you are smil ing you were smil ing then, (Gm)but I can’t re mem ber where

or (F)when.

(Dm)Some things that (Gm)hap pen for the (A7sus)first (A7)time

(Dm)seem to be (Gm7)hap pen ing a (C7)gain.

And so it seems that we have met

be (A)fore,

and (Bb6)laughed

be (Am)fore,

and (Gm)loved

be (Am)fore,

but (Gm)who knows (Am)where (C7)or (F)when!
