Somethin' there is about you
That strikes the match in me
Is it the way your body moves
Or is it the way your hair blows free?
Or is it because you remind me
Of somethin' that used to be?
Somethin' that's crossed over
From another century
Thought I'd shaken the wonder
And the phantoms of my youth
Rainy days on the great lakes
Walkin' the hills of old Duluth
There was me and Danny Lopez
Cold eyes, black nights and then there was Ruth
Somethin' there is about you
That brings back a long-forgotten truth
Suddenly I found you
And the spirit in me sings
Don't have to look no further
You're the soul of many things
I could say that I'd be faithful
I could say it in one sweet, easy breath
But to you that would be cruelty
And to me it surely would be death
Somethin' there is about you
That moves with style and grace
I was in a whirlwind
Now I'm in some better place
My hands on the saber
And you've picked up on the baton
Somethin' there is about you
That I can't quite put my finger on
