I’ve Heard That Song Before Lyrics

It seems to me I've heard that song before
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody
It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream
Dream that brought you so close to me
I know each word because
I've heard that song before
The lyrics say, "Forevermore"
Forevermore's a memory
Please have them play it again
And I'll remember just when I heard that lovely song before
It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream
Dream that brought you so close to me
Please have them play it again
And I'll remember just when I heard that lovely song before
