Lyrics...

It seems we've stood and talked like this before,
We looked at each other in the same way then,
But I can't remember where or when.
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore,
The smile you are smiling, you were smiling then,
But I can't remember where or when.
Some things that happened for the first time,
Seem to be happening again,
And so it seems that we have met before,
And laughed before,
And loved before,
But who knows where or when?
Some things that happened for the first time,
Seem to be happening again,
Hmmm, so it seems that we have met before,
And laughed before,
And loved before,
But who knows where or when?
(Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers)

  • this can't remind me of times I wasn't born .Yet I can't help remember of all that magic about the golden age of black and white productions of the 40's ...

  • Is this considered more Jazz or Blues?

  • She's so beautiful...

  • this is great music, im from the 80s but i truely appreciate songs like this

  • que gusto de voz .......una delicia para los sentidos.........y la musica y todo como se hacia en esa epoca maravillosa....

  • @The4Wuz I know right shes very beautiful too

  • Thank You Trooper7h for sharing, it's not too late for me to knowing her she is lovely and beautiful voice

  • From what I heard, the lyrics were entered with a minor flaw.

    I believe that it should be:

    Some things that happen for the first time,

    Seem to be happening again

    I think that this song is meant to be about déjà vu, not recollections. Well, if I can trust Wikipedia on the topic. Thank you for sharing, though. This was lovely.
