Is This
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.
Another place another time
Another face that looks like mine
Another soul for all to see
Is this reality?
If I could only find the words
I'm sure that they would go unheard
With one exception I can see
Is this reality?
Oh, if I could only make time stand still for a moment
Capture a memory and live it one more time, but I believe
That I would really change a thing
A second chance to get it right
I think the end is close at hand
I had a vision I don't understand
Don't you see, I was made for you and you for me
Close your eyes
Are you ready for a big surprise
Oh, hold the clock
Say the words to make it stop
Now, slam, bam, thank you ma'am
Wasn't it a pleasant life we shared
Now who really cares
Why pretend you don't remember
Wipe it clean and start again
Hope to see you in the summer
Another place another time
Another face that looks like mine
Another soul for all to see
Is this? Is this?
