Lyrics

Was is a cold but romantic apparition?
That came to me in the middle of the night
Was is a year or just one brief shining moment
I don't know, it's all a dream to me now

I saw your face and I followed where you lead me
I couldn't move with my feet so deep in clay
Was that your voice that whispered low behind me?
I don't know it I turned around and you were gone

It was Déjà Vu, Déjà Vu
Don't need to tell me 'cause I already knew
It was Déjà Vu- I met you in my dreams

Deep in the night I could swear that you were haunting
All through the day you were just around the bend
Was I asleep even though my eyes were open
I don't know it's still a dream to me now

When I awoke you were lying there beside me
Your body warm and your smile so full of life
I felt you kiss for just one brief shining moment, then one day
I turned around and you were gone

It was Déjà Vu, Déjà Vu
Don't need to tell me 'cause I already knew
It was Déjà Vu- I met you in my dreams

Now I just live for those moments when I see you
Though there are times I'm not sure you're really there
No matter how far I know that you'll always love and that's OK
It doesn't matter anymore

It was Déjà Vu, Déjà Vu
Don't need to tell me 'cause I already knew
It was Déjà Vu- I lost you in my dreams
