Still Believe

Lewis lost his marriage when he lost his illusions

That it had been the modern day ideal

They both worked way too hard and made love way too little

No surprise she found that San Jose had more appeal

But last night I saw Lewis walking down by the river

With a suitcase in his hand

And Lewis looked at me with eyes that were wiser and said

"I'm going there to make her understand"

That I still believe, I still believe

I still believe, I still believe

I still believe, I still believe

I still believe, I still

Lucy lost her parents when she lost her illusions

That theirs had been the family ideal

Lucy dove into the fast and shining city, she found her feet in dancing

But she lost the heart to feel much of anything

But last night I saw Lucy walking down by the river

With a husband and a brand new son

And Lucy looked at me with eyes that were wiser and said

"Well who'd have thought that I would be the one?"

But I still believe, I still believe

I still believe, I still believe

I still believe, I still believe

I still believe, I still

Laura lost her bearings when she lost her illusions

That she had nothing much to fear

She lost her ponytail and six long months of sleeping

When the Big see came to call last fall

But last night I saw Laura walking down by the river

And I could hardly hide my tears

But Laura looked at me with eyes that were wiser and said

"Wanna go with me to Italy next year?"

I still believe, I still believe

I still believe, I still believe

I still believe hmm
