Something So Familiar
Julie Dougherty ©1989

I walked into a room and found you sleeping in a chair
Your arms folded over a book, you looked so peaceful resting there
I turned softly to leave but you opened your eyes
And a smile crept over your face
There was something so familiar, another time, another place…

Chorus:
There was something so familiar
So familiar about you
As though our hearts remembered
As though we already knew
About each other, long ago
And a love so strong and true
From our first “hello”, there was something
So familiar about you

You were humming to yourself a nostalgic melody
I’d heard that music before, it struck an old chord in me
And yet from a dream you had written that theme
It was a haunting memory
Well there was something so familiar
Did you sing that once to me?

Chorus
