Where Or When 1937 "Babes In Arms"

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.
Sometimes you think you've lived before
all that you live today.
Things you do
come back to you
as though they knew the way.
Oh, the tricks your mind can play!

It seems we 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 happen 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!

It seems we 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 happen 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!
