Still Believe Lyrics

Susan Werner 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 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
"Wanna go with me to Italy next year?"

I still believe, I still believe
I still believe, I still believe
I still believe hmm
