I Still Believe
Susan Werner
Louis lost his marriage when he lost his illusions
But 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 Louis walking down by the river
With a suitcase in his hand
And Louis looked at me with eyes that were wiser
And said, "I'm going there to make her understand."
chorus:
I still believe, I still believe,
I still believe, I still believe
I still believe, I still believe
I still believe, I still believe
Lucy lost her parents when she lost her illusions
But this had been the family ideal
Lucy dove into the fast and shiny 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 of thought that I would be the one?"
chorus
Laura lost her bearings when she lost her illusions
But she had nothing much to fear
She lost her ponytail and six long months of sleeping
When the big C 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, "Want to go with me to Italy ...next year?"
