When the world gets me down, I find myselfReaching for that old leather bound bookAnd there he smiles, the gentle smile I know so wellAnd I am back where I used to beCouldn't speak when I saw you in the townI picked you out easily from the crowdIn the mirror image of your high school photographYou took me back where we used to beSo won't you be my distant guiding starI seem to lose my way among the crowdOnce in a while, in a little whileCome light my way from where you areWillow spoke, willow swayed to and froAs we walked hand in hand by the river flowBut now the views have changed that I used to know so wellCan take me back where we used to beSo won't you be my distant guiding starI seem to lose my way among the crowdOnce in a while, in a little whileCome light my way from where you areCome light my way from where you are
