Like It Always Was

Like it always was I saw a shimmering white light And for a second I was so close I thought that I could feel you It felt like coming home A closet filled with memories With a scent of dust and old A faded sweater and an empty bottle a label white with gold So hold your head up high again And take a bow Feel the applause Let the stage be filled with light Do it one more time Just like it always was Just like it always was Forgotten words and melodies Of songs I used to know Splintered in my memory Not meant for letting go I saw you when I closed my eyes You were dancin' in my dream Your hair was different, your clothes were wrong You were singing just for me. So hold your head up high again And take a bow Feel the applause Let the stage be filled with light Do it one more time Just like it always was Just like it always was
