Barry Manilow - Starting Again lyrics

And it started again and I meant every word
And I like what I said
And I liked what I heard
And I started to think
I could think about starting again

We were laughing again
Over memories and wine
And the years in between
Didn't seem along time
When I smile she knew why
In awhile it was starting again
And I started to think i could feel again
All the bad times seemed unreal
When she looked in my eyes
The cheating, the lies
The things that were wrong seem far behind
And I started to think i could care again
And my fears all disappear
When she called me by name
I knew that she changed
The flaws were all gone the saint remained

But it started again
When I asked her to stay
And she said there's this friend who's
In town just for today
And she really felt bad
But she had to be leaving again
And she left me again as she left me before
Still pretending she cared when we
Kissed at the door but I saw in her eyes
That the lies were all starting again
Just when I'd started to fall again
When all the bad times seemed unreal
When it all seemed so right
And I thought that tonight if
She said she cared she really might
Just when my fears disappeared again
And I heard what I wanted to hear
It all started again
And I knew what that meant
It wasn't the start it was really the end
