Starting Again - Barry Manilow

And it started again

And I meant every word

And I like what I said

And I liked what I heard

And I started to think

I could think about starting again

We were laughing again

Over memories and wine

And the years in between

Didn’t seem along time

When I smile she knew why

In awhile it was starting again

And I started to think

I could feel again

All the bad times seemed unreal

When she looked in my eyes

The cheating, the lies, the things that were wrong

Seem far behind

And I started to think

I could care again

And my fears all disappear

When she called me by name

I knew that she changed

The flaws were all gone

The saint remained

But it started again

When I asked her to stay

And she said there’s this friend who’s in town just for today

And she really felt bad

But she had to be leaving again

And she left me again

As she left me before

Still pretending she cared when we kissed at the door

But I saw in her eyes

That the lies were all starting again

Just when I’d started to fall again

When all the bad times seemed unreal

When it all seemed so right

And I thought that tonight if she said she cared

She really might

Just when my fears disappeared again

And I heard what I wanted to hear

It all started again

And I knew what that meant

It wasn’t the start

It was really the end
