I Swear I Saw Christopher Reeve (Mackinac Island Charm)

You know it's not pronounced Mackinac

It's Mackinac, Mackinac

It's an Indian name but it almost sounds French

Mackinac, le Mackinac

Quiet as crocheting

Silent as that sea

Just came to Mackinac

Came here with me

It's like Bermuda in Michigan

Mackinac, Mackinac

So tranquil, hardly need tranquilizers

Mackinac, no second awe

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

Swear I saw Christopher Reeve

You'll never guess where we met

Mackinac, Mackinac

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

Mackinac, Sir Mackinac

Time can't remove what we had on that trip

A kiss in my vestibule

Stain on my slip

Quiet as crocheting

Silent as that sea

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 the grief

Swear I saw Christopher Reeve
