Christine Lavin - The Scent Of Your Cologne lyrics

The shiny doors slid open nobody was there but the scent of your aftershave wafted through the air I stepped into the elevator touched the number nine I closed my eyes, breathed deeply traveled back in time Now I am falling through space I picture your face another time and place you are here the scent of your cologne brings me back home I feel a peace I haven't known for years and years The revival's still in previews opens in two weeks but I can't wait I buy two tickets they are expensive seats the overture begins it's music that I heard from a time back when I could not speak a single word Now I am falling through space I picture your face another time and place you are here melodies I've always known played forever in our home and like the scent of your cologne across the years it brings you here I feel sad, I feel happy I feel twinges of regret it takes me by surprise to think it's not over yet I dreamed that you were still alive it was an ordinary day you were puttering about in your usual way but when I awoke I looked around I knew it wasn't true so I closed my eyes and begged for sleep to pull me back to you Now I'm falling through space I picture your face another time and place you are here you are laughing in the sun you are loved by everyone your day is never done in my dreams you're still here And you are falling through space I picture your face another time and place you are here melodies I've always known play forever in our home and like the scent of your cologne across the years it brings you here . . . it brings you here
