Still Believe

Lewis lost his marriage when he lost his illusions
 That it had been the modern day ideal
 They both worked way too hard and made love way too little
 No surprise she found that San Jose had more appeal
 But last night I saw Lewis walking down by the river
 With a suitcase in his hand
 And Lewis looked at me with eyes that were wiser and said
 "I'm going there to make her understand"
 That I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe, I still
 Lucy lost her parents when she lost her illusions
 That theirs had been the family ideal
 Lucy dove into the fast and shining city, she found her feet in dancing
 But she lost the heart to feel much of anything
 But last night I saw Lucy walking down by the river
 With a husband and a brand new son
 And Lucy looked at me with eyes that were wiser and said
 "Well who'd have thought that I would be the one?"
 But I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe, I still
 Laura lost her bearings when she lost her illusions
 That she had nothing much to fear
 She lost her ponytail and six long months of sleeping
 When the Big see came to call last fall
 But last night I saw Laura walking down by the river
 And I could hardly hide my tears
 But Laura looked at me with eyes that were wiser and said
 "Wanna go with me to Italy next year?"
 I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe, I still believe
 I still believe hmm
