Candy Came Back [*] Lyrics - 24 Carrots - Al Stewart

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
