Something There Is About You

Somethin' there is about you

That strikes the match in me

Is it the way your body moves

Or is it the way your hair blows free?

Or is it because you remind me

Of somethin' that used to be?

Somethin' that's crossed over

From another century

Thought I'd shaken the wonder

And the phantoms of my youth

Rainy days on the great lakes

Walkin' the hills of old Duluth

There was me and Danny Lopez

Cold eyes, black nights and then there was Ruth

Somethin' there is about you

That brings back a long-forgotten truth

Suddenly I found you

And the spirit in me sings

Don't have to look no further

You're the soul of many things

I could say that I'd be faithful

I could say it in one sweet, easy breath

But to you that would be cruelty

And to me it surely would be death

Somethin' there is about you

That moves with style and grace

I was in a whirlwind

Now I'm in some better place

My hands on the saber

And you've picked up on the baton

Somethin' there is about you

That I can't quite put my finger on
