(Lyrics):i thought i saw your face today - she & him
I thought I saw your face today
But I just turned my head away
Your face against the trees
But I just see the memories As they come,
as they come
And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
I saw it glitter as I grew
And loved it, boy, I never knew
I thought this place was heaven-sent
But now it's just a monument In my mind,
in my mind
And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
The cars and freeways implore me to stay
away, out of this place
My mother said, "Just keep your head, and play it as it lays"
The cars and freeways implore me to stay away, out of this place
My mother said, "Just keep your head, and play it as it lays"
I somehow see what's beautiful
In things that are ephemeral
I'm my only friend of mine
And love is just a piece of time In the world,
in the world And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall...
