Haven’t I Seen You Somewhere Before 8/2024
I try to remember what was the name/ I was
given at birth ‘cause all that remains / is a
face with two eyes and whiskers that grin/ and a
voice that will argue with someone within or the
guy in the mirror, I just can’t be sure…
Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?
And who is this woman who’s serving me tea?/ She’s
quiet and pleasant and sleeps next to me./ With a
comforting touch does everything well/ and
gets me to breakfast at the sound of the bell./ I
scowl at her smile when she offers me more.
Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?
CHORUS:
Today I’ll play checkers with that old guy again.
Three out of five he’s been lettin’ me win./ Some
chattin’ some cussin,’ we act like old friends.
Later this week, we’ll go at it again./ An’
I’ll shake his hand when he walks in the door.
Haven’t I seen you somewhere before.
CHORUS:
When I fall asleep, I can’t help but snore.
I need my rest, so just close the door./ An’
If I don’t wake up, that’s kind of the Lord./ He
knows I’m awaitin’ what ever’s in store,/ I
won’t need to ask anyone, anymore
haven’t I seen you somewhere before?
