Al Stewart - Candy Came Back

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
