al Stewart - Candy Came Back



Candy came back to amazing acclaim

Saying if this is love give me more of the same

The people were waiting in crowds for the sight 

Of her face in the car driving into the night

And she says they gotta have someone 

I might as well let it be me

For all my life was a dream



In the shops and the factories they talk about you

And the girls in the street wear their hair like you do

Hordes of reporters are always at hand

And the cameras are ready whenever you land

But she says it couldn't be better 

I don't let it get in my way 

All my life was a dream



I'm not sentimental for the ticker tape life 

I could lose it all in just the card of the night

So don't you worry about the things that I do

There are times I need to get away from you

But every time I try to close my door 

I seem to fascinate you more and more and more



Candy came back to amazing acclaim

Through the hot summer night they were calling her name

They seemed to be drawn by the power of her fame 

Like a gull to the water a moth to the flame

But she says, oh it's not what I did

And they saw what they wanted to see

For all my life was a dream
