“Where or When” is a cover of the song of the same name from Rodgers & Hart’s musical Babes in Arms and is originally a duet between Valentine and Billy. Lyrically, the song speaks on the sense of déjà vu between new lovers.
[Verse 1]
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you were smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?
[Verse 2]
When you're awake, the things you think
Come from the dreams you dream
Thought has wings
And lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live today
Things you do
Come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play
*Instrumental*
[Verse 3]
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?
Where Or When was written by Lorenz Hart & Richard Rodgers.
