Somewhere In My Lifetime - Remastered Lyrics
Phyllis Hyman
Lyrics
Somewhere in my lifetime
You've been here with me
Oh so close to me
Somewhere in my lifetime
Somewhere in my lifetime
I have kissed your lips
Lips so tenderly
They've been kissing me
They were visions
Of so long ago
You know memories come and go
So they say
People say, yes they do
Let visions of what
Of what will be
Somewhere in my lifetime
It was you and me... You and me
Somewhere in my lonely dreams
You've been here with me
Oh so close to me
And I've been loving you
Somewhere in my lifetime
Somewhere in my lifetime
Somewhere in my lifetime
It was you... and... me...
