Excuse me, mister, I thought I knew you

From a long time ago, his eyes sparkled just like yours

And when you looked at me like that, that old feeling came floatin' back

I had to come closer to see your face, pardon me, sir

But I seem to be floating away, away

You know that old friend and me, we were always together

The sky was always blue, that same feeling came when I saw you

Sittin' there, mm, lookin' at me that way

I just had to say, "Pardon me, sir"

But I seem to be floating away, away

I knew you'd understand, and when I touched your hand

I saw a light come shinin' through your eyes

We should get to know each other better than my friend and me before

And open all the little doors, please pardon me, sir

But I seem to be floating away, away

So you say we have met before, in another place and time

And we are the same as we were before, and once more

The day will come soon enough when our lives will go up

In a puff of dreams, we'll meet again, my friend

But I seem to be floating away, away

But you seem to be floating

I seem to be floating away
