"Coming around again"

"Coming around again" was performed by singer/songwriter Carly Simon in 1987.I just found the cover performed by Copeland,which I really do not like. How they can expect to redo a classic like this and think it could even be comparable to the original is beyond me. It's so frustrating when they butcher an original song as good as this. Carly Simon is tops and so is her song ,to be sung only be her.I've posted both versions anyway.

I love the original music video and I love the lyrics. It just makes me realise how time goes by so quickly, in a blink of an eye you're all grown up trying to make a life of your own, moved out of your parent's house and living in a strange land (overseas) with a strange man( husband to be ).Who would have thought your life would turn out that way? Looking back I would never have believed where my future would have taken me because of the experiences I had already had. Having lived the good life ( a very comfortable life) with parents who mollycoddled me , fed me well , did everything for me , not ever having to worry about pushing myself out on my own into the dark scary world out there made things a lot easier for me , who could ask for more?

Well it was hard moving and changing but it was good for me , it has never been easy living so far away from my family, but it taught me to really appreciate them because I didn't realise what I really had until I left it. Everyday I still think about my family back in South Africa and the life I had and when I hear this song it gets me because I feel such nostalgia for the way things were, I lived a good life there ( and I am blessed) .Unfortunately we can't turn back the clock and magically go back , but we can decide to make the most of every moment from here on out we have right now and not take anything for granted because these moments will also be gone soon.

The lyrics are below , I really always loved the line " and I believe in love , but what else can I do , I 'm so in love with you " :)



Lyrics

Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

(chorus)
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
Fix the toasted
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
burn the Souffle
Scream the lullaby

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
