Familiar reality
Wonder where have I seen you before
I know that I know your face from somewhere
Follow me wherever I go
ย
It wasn't from a crowded book
And it wasn't from a magazine
It wasn't from a TV ad
It wasn't from a movie screen
ย
So familiar reality
Know that it's my heart to yours in the face I see
ย
So familiar old melody
That song keeps coming on back to me
ย
Wasn't from a hymn book back in Sunday school
Wasn't that song we used to sing on Grandpa's mule
ย
It wasn't a song from the radio
Wasn't a song but I know that we all used to know
ย
Wasn't a song that my momma sang to me
But still a familiar old melody
ย
Familiar reality
Song keep coming on back to me
ย
Familiar reality
Know I have been here before
ย
Familiar reality
Peculiar how well I know the feeling that I'm feeling
ย
Now life, I understand, is like a river
Now this river can be real mean
It also can be real nice
It ain't gonna do you no harm
You just gotta handle it right
Now this big river I'm trying to run down to you about
It's got no beginning, it's got no end
ย
Flow on and on, just like it'll never end
ย
Right down here by the river bend
That's where we all end
Wonder which way to go
Familiar reality
I wonder which way to go
ย
Familiar reality
Do something to my heart that does a strange thing to me
ย
Familiar love affair
Babe, I know it ain't gonna get us nowhere at all
Like a little bear, it ain't going nowhere
Making tracks here and there
But we don't have a car
ย
Hey, hey, hey, now
Wanna tell you the way I feel here and now
ย
It's not here in our little rendezvous
Baby, just the thought of just being me and you
ย
I know, I know your love so well
I know it's for goodness, for sure
It's everything I ever wanted
ย
