It`s All Been Done Before Lyrics

It`s All Been Done Before lyrics

He was the son of a loving businessman

Young days filled with affluent affection

Late nights all alone walking along those suburban roads

Searching for some cosmic connection



And as he walked those tree-lined roads

He would swear himself a sacred oath

To always reach up endless toward the sky

Walking through the midnight dew

He would curse the lack of something new

And he’d stare up at the sky and wonder why



Why it’s all been done before, and so it will again

“Nothing new is ever new�, he said

And it’s all been done before, it’s all been tried and true and said

There must be something somewhere out there someone left



She was the daughter of a military man

Each year marked by a different direction

Seasons spent in the solitude of some transitory plan

Running from any constant connection



And just as she might settle in

The orders came to leave again

And she’d stare down at the ground and refuse to cry

Bags packed and off to go

She would swear herself a silent oath

To someday stay in one place just for a while



Cause it’s all been done before, and so it will again

“Nothing new is ever new�, she said

It’s all been done before, it’s all been tried and true and said

And it makes no bit of difference in the end



They met on a moonlit night when the evergreens were waving

Ever so slightly in that misty western wind

And he walked along his usual path and she sat upon her brand new old fence

Through the haze of the street light their eyes met

Their eyes – their eyes met, their eyes met

And then they started up a conversation

Just a simple little conversation

And that was it



Though it seemed like endless nights and days

It did not take long for him to say

“You’re the one for me, I’ll buy you a diamond ring

Together we will see the world

Walk every inch upon the earth

We will climb the highest mountains, sail the shining seas

Do everything�



She said “No it’s all been done before, worry not your head

Me and you is something new,� she said

And it’s all been done before, it’s all been tried and true and said

“I want you not something new� is what she said



He lifted up his head, looked her in the eye

Said “I think I understand, for the first time in my life

That it’s all…been done…before

And it’s all…been done before

Ain’t it beautiful, it’s all been done…before�
