Vanishing Act
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It must be nice to disappear
To have a vanishing act
To always be looking forward
And never looking back
How nice it is to disappear
Float into a mist
With a young lady on your arm
Looking for a kiss
It might be nice to disappear
To have a vanishing act
To always be looking forward
Never look over your back
It must be nice to disappear
Float into a mist
With a young lady on your arm
Looking for a kiss
It must be nice to disappear
To have a vanishing act
To always be moving forward
And never looking back
How nice it is to disappear
Float into a mist
With a young lady on your arm
Looking for a kiss
Looking for a kiss
Float into a mist
