It seems to me I've heard that song before, It's from an old familiar score,
I know it well, that melody.
It's funny how a theme, recalls a favorite dream,
A dream that brought you so close to me.
I know each word because I've heard that song before, The lyrics said "forever more"
Forever more's a memory.
Please have them play it again, And I'll remember just when,

I've heard that lovely song before.
