I have the feeling I′ve been here before
More often than I choose to tell
And tho the view's been twice as clear before
By now I know it pretty well
Those tattle tail things you try not to let go by
Are all familiar size

I know the smile, they look
And I know the book
What′s more I have even read between the lines
I've seen the summer turn to fall before
The joke November makes of May (uh-u-u-uh)
 
The times I thought I had it all before
Then bit by bit it slipped away
Although on the losing side

That cockpit ride is always worth a try
I've seen the magic disappear before
I missed the boat and shed the tear before
The only news when you′ve been here before
Is who will sing goodbye?

Go on the losing side
That cockpit what is always worth a try
I′ve seen the magic disappear before
I've missed the boat and shed the tear before
The only news when you′ve been here before
Is who will say goodbye?
