I said I played this song
So many times before
That the melody keeps repeatin'
Growin' new ideas
Flowing chords and notes
Like a mountain river bleedin'
Well I said, as I look back
On all the thoughts I've had
They reflect just what I'm learnin'
Yes, you know that the hardest part
Yes, I said, is to stay on top
On top of the world forever, Johnny
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Well you say you're there
But I can see that your eyes are glad
Well what do you see, can you see
Can you see what I'm feelin'
Yes, I've seen your face before
I said I've seen it everywhere
Showin' all to me
With that, I said, revealin'
Well I said, will it ever change
Oh yes, Lord, I said
Will it stay the same
I'd surely like to know
Before it's over
Well I said I played this song
Yes, I said it won't be long
Won't be long before I start
To play it over
I, oh I, I've seen your face before
It's never gonna, never gonna change again
I, oh I, I been in one place too long
It's never gonna, never gonna change again
