I Swear I Saw Christopher Reeve (Mackinac Island Charm)

You know, it's not pronounced ""Mackinack""

It's ""Mackinaw,"" Mackinac

It's an Indian name, but it almost sounds French

Mackinac, Le Mackinac

Quaint as crocheting

Silent as that c

Just came to Mackinac

Came here with me

It's like Bermuda in Michigan

Mackinac, Mackinac

So tranquil I hardly need tranquilizers

Mackinac, no Seconal

No moving vehicles

No glitz, no buzz

Preserving a history

That never quite was

So magically sweet and so sublime

They came here to shoot ""Somewhere in Time""

So real and yet so like make-believe

I swear I saw Christopher Reeve

You'll never guess where we met

Mackinac, Mackinac

He's a bit of pudge, but I really didn't mind

Mackinac, Sir Mackinac

Time can't remove

What we had on that trip

The kiss in my vestibule

The stain on my slip

Quaint as crocheting

Silent as that c

I just came to Mackinac

Came here with me

So magically sweet and so sublime

Almost don't care that there'll be no next time

When he flew away, left me to grieve

I swear I saw Christopher Reeve
