Marie-lynn Hammond Houdini And You And Me Lyrics

Houdini And You And Me Lyrics

I thought I would see you at least one more time

if only just to kiss you
goodbye

oh but last night in all the confusion

you vanished like
some kind of illusion

and I think I know why 



chorus:

whenever somebody gets too near

you lose your nerve and disappear

how can I tell thats the reason

well Ive been pulling that same old
trick for years

masters of the great escape are we

Houdini and you
and me 



I looked for you in vain up and down the halls

I
hoped we would cross on the stairs

when I gave up and finally opened your
door

I saw ropes and scarves on the floor

but you werent there 



chorus



just when I thought Id found

a reason for
holding my ground

life has to play a little joke

like making me go
and pick

someone whose favourite trick

seems to be vanishing up in
smoke 



oh, Im feeling like Alice with the Cheshire cat

youre
fading away as I stare

blink my eyes and youre gone now

but your
smile hangs on and on in the empty air 



chorus



magicians of the future will all agree

there was Houdini and you and
me
