Where Or When by Mel Torm Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mel Torme and Cleo Laine]
When you're awake, the things you think
Come from the dreams you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
[Verse 2: Mel Torme, Cleo Laine and Both]
Sometimes you think you've lived before
The things that you've lived today
Things you do come back to you
As if they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play
[Chorus: Cleo Laine]
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 are 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 happen for the first time
They seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
Loved before
But who knows where or when?
[Chorus: Mel Torme, Both]
I kinda get the feeling
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-
Who knows how it happens, why or where
Or when
When you're awake, the things you think
Come from the dreams you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
[Verse 2: Mel Torme, Cleo Laine and Both]
Sometimes you think you've lived before
The things that you've lived today
Things you do come back to you
As if they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play
[Chorus: Cleo Laine]
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 are 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 happen for the first time
They seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
Loved before
But who knows where or when?
[Chorus: Mel Torme, Both]
I kinda get the feeling
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-
Who knows how it happens, why or where
Or when
