I'm Going To Go Back There Someday

Paul Williams


This looks familiar 
Vaguely familiar
Almost unreal yet
It's too soon to feel yet 
Close to my soul and yet so far away 
I'm going to go back there some day. 

Sunrises, nightfalls 
Sometimes the sky calls 
Is that a song there? 
Then do I belong there? 
I've never been there but I know the way
I'm going to go back there some day. 

Come and go with me 
It's more fun to share 
We'll both be completely at home in midair 
We're flying, not walking, on featherless wings 
We can hold on to love like invisible strings. 

There's not a word yet for old friends
Who've just met 
Part heaven, part space
Or have I found my place? 
You can just visit, but I plan to stay. 

I'm going to go back there some day
I'm going to go back there some day
